Detailed Costume Idea

Femme Fatale:
Our female lead (Lauren Newby) will be seductive, mysterious and glamorous. She will have a dangerous class to her in which will show in the way she presents herself. Make-up will be based around the classic red lip and smokey eyes. We want to emphasise on the lash as there will be a lot of significance about her eyes. Clothing will be mainly black. We want to have a simple black dress with some fishnet tights, heavy and expensive looking jewellery and hopefully we will get hold of a fur coat (fake of course). Heels are also an essential for any girl. We have got hold of a cigarette holder so this will had the old fashioned class to our femme fatale. Also, we have got a small zippo lighter which will be dropped from a high height. This lighter doesn't have much relevance to the femme fatale but it does show the era very vaguely.

Anti-Hero:
This character (played by Thomas Wilson) will also be mysterious aswell as the femme fatale. He will come across as slightly common but he has a certain light to him. His clothing will be very simple as we want him to be wearing baggy jeans, a vest top and possibly a flat cap with some ragged boots. As a male character make-up would not be needed but he will be covered in patches of oil. Every girl falls for a bad guy. His hair will preferably be messy. There will be a significance to class aswell as while the femme fatale will be smoking with the cigarette holder and the anti-hero will be smoking without it. He doesn't really care about much but when it comes to meeting the femme fatale, you see his soft and polite side.

  1. I like how much detail you've thought about your characters, especially relating the props and costumes they have to the era/genre of film noir. It would be intesesting to see some stills of the charaters in costume at some point in the future, maybe next to an example of the kind of classic look your going for.
