I gathered my actresses together and organised them into their different costumes.
This is the 'baddy' character. I got Vanessa to wear all black as it has connotations to mystery and the unknown. As black is a dark colour it will allow Vanessa to creep around the flat without being noticed. The darkness also draws more attention to Vanessa's eyes and pale complexion which creates an eerie feel. I applied black make up around both of her eyes to give the impression that she is dead. This with her messy, dark her also has connotations to typical Horror film villains such as the Grudge and the Ring.
This is the character who is moving far away from home to University. I made Ailis wear a collared playsuit which could represent innocence and purity. Her pale complexion and long ringlets also creates an impression of vulnerability which is effective in presenting her as a victim.
This is one of the characters who already attended the University. I made Katie wear clothes which gave the impression of a typical University student who is used to going out and fits in with her environment. This is effective as it makes Ailis look more vulnerable as Katie is familiar with her surroundings.
However, Katie is still a victim of the 'baddy' and her blonde hair represents her as a typical, vulnerable female.
This is the second character who is also already attending the University. Again, like Katie, Charlotte is dressed up as if she is used to going out so fits in with her surroundings. Like Katie she is less vulnerable than Ailis but still is a victim of the 'baddy.'
