Costume

We picked muted colours in our costume because we wanted a very drab feel to the opening- that is, bright colours would have conveyed a positive emotion, which wasn't the statement we wanted to make at the beggining of the film- the muted colours set the atmosphere of the rest of the film.

Ripped jeans were a choice we made to make it abundantly clear that this is a normal teenager, not an agent or a spy, as ripped jeans are an item of clothing stereotypically worn exclusively by teenagers.

The coat was to accentuate the drab colours, and also because the setting of our film is late November, early December.

The attacker is wearing black to highlight his anonymity, and the gloves were a stereotypically villainous symbol to convey quickly who was the protagonist and who was the antagonist.
