Character costume in our film

Agnes
In our film Agnes is the protagonist, and stereotypically the young girl in horror films is the innocent one. Therefore by dressing her in white this portrays her innocence and purity. It is also connected to her death and how she will be transferred to heaven. The relation to her innocence is shown in the beginning when it is revealed that she is not actually alive.






















Agnes's parents 
With Agnes's parents being the antagonists, we have decided to dress them in dark colours in order to link them to their dark and sinister element. Also the darkness of their costume will relate to their twisted personalities.




Ghost Dad
The ghost dad will be dressed in light, balanced clothing to show how he is unaware of what is happening in the house. This will also show how he is no threat to Agnes, relating to his innocence. Having him dressed like this will create a contrast to the mother and father, therefore creating a juxtaposition of good and evil in the film.





Ghost child - girl
The ghost child will also be dressed in colours to show how she isn't a threat to Agnes in any way. By doing this we will be connecting both the ghost characters to show togetherness. And showing how Agnes is under no threat of them both, even though she begins to believe they are haunting her house. 



Police Women
Our police women will typically be dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. This will mean the audience will automatically be able to identify who the character is and therefore knowing that action is going to take place. Shortly after when the mother and father of Agnes are being questioned in the interrogation room, Charlotte will be dressed accordingly.
