Costume Ideas
Becki (Hostage)
Halle Berry is the female protagonist character in the film ‘Kidnap’. As this film is the same genre as ours we thought we would look at this characters costume and modify it so that what we use is similar. As seen from the picture, the character is in casual clothing:
- - Blue Jeans
- - Baggy, bright coloured top
- - White converse trainers
Kidnapper:
For the costume of th kidnapper, we again looked at common costumes used by similar characters in the same genre film.
Liam Neeson, male protagonist in 'Taken', was seen in the clothing below.

Another costume that further inspired our decision was worn by Gale in 'The Hunger Games'
Again dark clothing is worn by the male, however he has a more casual look that would be better suited for the kidnapper in our film. Gale's costume consists of:
- - Grey jumper / top
- - Dark trousers
- - Big Boots
Policeman / Crime Investigator
For the costume of the policeman / crime investigator, we looked at their typical, conventional costume in other films of a similar genre.

We identified the the following costumes:

Mother
For the costume of the mother we want to portray her worry and desperation to find her child, she would wear neutral colours that connote sadness and clothes that are ill fitting. Her hair will also appear neglected and not be styled
We took inspiration from the mother of Hazel in the Fault in our stars. She wears: - Neutral colours - Baggy jumper & Joggers. |
