Costume Idea for Male Character

Costume Idea for Male Character


We wanted his clothing to be casual and fit with the scene as a normal teenager who is also attending the party. He is wearing quite plain clothing as we do not want to distract the audience from the on-screen action.


The hoodie suggests that he is ‘concealing his identity’, it also connotes mystery and anxiety within the character, you never know what he is capable of. As this is a cooler shade of blue, it suggests that this is a very cold character and that blue can have a tendency to cause feelings of sadness. Even though his hoodie is unzipped, he is still hiding away one part of his image, meaning that he is showing one side of his personality but there is also I darker side to him.

Jeans suggest that he is quite a casual character and as he is ‘blending in with the crowd’ and is wearing an ‘everyday outfit’, he could have a sense of innocence in the view of other characters that is covering another side to him.

His t-shirt is white which is associated with innocence, light and considered the colour of perfection. This is so that the character is giving out a set image to other characters so that he comes across as a relatively ‘innocent’ person. Only a bit of this colour is shown as the hoodie covers most of it which suggests he is hiding his identity. White can also have negative connotations of coldness, colourless and sterile which connotes a slightly different side of him perhaps. This leaves the feeling of suspicion and anxiety of the viewers to see what type of person he really is.

The dark, casual shoes add a sense of mystery to the character but are not too obvious. This could show that although he has a dark side, not everyone can tell straight away from a quick glance at him.
