Costume design for various characters

In a way of following the rules, our final girl should wear something that is definitely not provocative. Also try to stick to something that’s not blatant female clothing. Possibly a shirt with some jeans. Colour is important for this can help portray the personality of the character well.  For example, colours such as black or plain white wouldn’t show too much femininity.

For the villain, the use of gauze (thin materials such as silk, cotton or linen) would be a very good route to follow. Furthermore hessian (material for brown sacks) would be ideal for the villain’s mask, especially as we want to give it the anonymous effect. The sack material should only have one hole for the eyes, so that only one is showing.

The eye will play an important role for the look of the villain. There are different ways of making it look frightening. One way is using black makeup around it. However there are the YouTube videos on unzipped makeup which would be ideal to gain inspiration from, as the techniques used in these videos are very effective.

The news reporter’s dress code should be formal as it will bring more realism to the final product. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a suit but just something that looks smart. Props can be used as well (glasses).

• The girls at the party who are handed the drinks, can be wearing their usual clothing, but the most important thing to remember is that they should not look similar to the final girl, and that their clothing should contain some feminine elements to it, even if it is a ring or gold bracelet.
