Costumes

We have chosen these costumes as we want the characters of James and Sophie to look like regular teenagers so they will be wearing normal clothing like jeans, a top and a jacket to fit this criteria. When in the detective's room, James will be wearing darker plainer clothing to look more formal and fit the tone of the scene. The detective himself will be wearing a shirt, tie and blazer to look like a professional police detective. This is conventional of the thriller genre because in most other thrillers the detectives/police wear smart clothing, for example in The Silence of the Lambs. It is also conventional in thrillers that most of the other characters wear casual clothing which will also appeal to our target audience and make them more relatable as the young people of our target audience wear clothing similar to that of the characters.
