OUR FINAL OPENING SEQUENCE - Captive

Costumes

When planning our opening sequence and character profiles, we decided on costumes:

Dannie's costume


Dannie is a laid back 17 year old girl. She is staying at home on, however is waiting for her boyfriend, Josh, to arrive. Therefore, her costume needs to be relaxed and casual, however still neat and slightly dressed up in order to impress Josh. So, we went with jeans and a plain top. Her flower necklace and pinned pack hair reflects her girly personality. She is wearly some make-up, which is for costume purposes, as well as to ensure that her skin appears smooth and attractive on screen in the harsh lighting. She is not wearing shoes, as we have established that she is staying at home in the opening. Her blonde hair is typical of a 'girlie' girl in a film: although we do not want her to appear weak and stereotypically girly like cheerleaders in American high school films, who only care about their appearance, the blonde hair is typical of a damsel in distress character, such as Dianna Agron's character in I Am Number Four.

Josh's costume:

Josh wears dark clothes in the opening scene, which portray him as tough. Their plainess reflect how the audience should view him at this moment in the film: he seems normal, yet he must become brave and save the day in the rest of the film.
