costume

When trying to picture the supernatural being I couldn't imagine how it would look facially, as i wanted certain human aspects to be absent. So one night i watched a few films in hope to find some sort of inspiration. After having having a skim through the film 'Watchmen' I'd found it! The character 'Rorschach' visually captured the characteristics and mood i was going for. I believe that we, as humans, have become increasingly scared of what we don't know and so i wanted this characters identity to be uncertain and out of the ordinary.

items of clothing:

• morphsuit-ordered especially for production
• suit jacket, trousers, white shirt, black tie,  formal laced shoes- my sixth form outfit

I think the suit matches the characters role within the film, as you find out after the sequence that he's there because it's its job to be there, hence the business like suit.

 In terms of the character of William, i had no clear picture as to what he would wear specifically, other than using darker apparel. So i had a skim over some of Shaun's (actor) Facebook pictures to see if he owned anything that would be suitable and i had found the ideal top. As you can see it is a black, 3 buttoned jumper.

I took preference with items such as this over something like a hoody as i wanted a more mature taste to match his adolescent age, in addition to the art house style of film. I had him keep it simple with what he wore on his legs and feet, restricting his choice to darker jeans and smart, black shoes

William has conformed with the society around him for all of his life and i wanted to match this lifestyle with what he wears. So hoods, leopard skin trousers or 'Bling' would be a big no no.
