Costume and Make-up

For our costume and make up we will need to ensure that the mise-en-scene of our opening title sequence is clear as this helps to create the genre and identity of the characters.

We will need to have:

• Old, rough hands - This will be effective as the desaturated, untidy hands will generate the age and gender of the character. This we hope will make it clear that this particular character is a middle aged man. The idea of the rough hands signify age and lack of care. This will create an eery mood as the dirty hands create that psychotic mood, which will also be shown through the sound.
• Rolled up sleeves - This cannotes a sense of business, as though the character is working on something. This is important in our opening sequence as we need to create an enigma, therefore making our audience aware that he has a plot, but keeps them questioning what.
• Desaturated face (powdered and pale) - The idea of a pale, powedered face creates an identity and personality of the character, as lack of colour in the face is usually associated with an illness or an unhealthy lifestyle. This will create an overall feel that this character is not particularly healthy and may be constructed as being rather insane or disturbed. 
• Welly boots on tiny feet - This will be the binary opposite of our other character, which will create a contrast in our opening sequence, making it obvious to the audinece that this chracter is to be percieved as vulnerable. The small, brightly coloured welly boots will signify youth and joy, which will help to generate symathy and a protective approach toward this character, from the opening sequence.
