The pyjama bottoms used in the thriller are similar to the ones pictured left. The reason for this is becuase blue connotes to calm and a notion of sensibility. These also symbolise comfort and rest. This means that when the mother is found dead the whole world and idea of comfort and relaxation is completely eliminated.
The plain white t-shirt connotes to the young boys purity and the fact that he may be innocent in the sense of his knowledge about his mothers death.
The dark and enigmatic figure in our thriller has mainly dark clothes and this is to reflect his personality.
The purpose of the of the trilby hat is to cover his identity and to shadow his face. This makes his character frighteningly mysterious. The use of a trilby hat is also a tribute to films made in the 1940's etc when cotume such as this was a common factor in a thriller film.
The black trousers do exactly the same job as the black hat in covering his identity. The black trousers also portray his personality and his inner feelings e.g. they are very dark and evil thoughts. Black is the colour which represents death and is traditionally worn at funerals.
The mother's costume in our film was designed to look modern yet not to be mistaken as anything like an elder sister or random stranger etc. The items of clothing below come together to from the overall image of her costume.
