Tags costume

The costume is simple, and not overcomplicated with accessories. I have decided to keep his outfit simple to reflect his character where he is described as a bit of an outcast, with this though I don’t want him to blend in. He must stand out on screen. Therefore, I have made his outfit a simple deep red hoodie with dark, simple jeans and dark shoes. This is a risky outfit to choose as the character could end up being portrayed as the ‘gangsta’ type with the hoodie which is definitely not what I am aiming for Tag to be, so when the outfit is on him it shall be tweaked somehow to avoid this. The hoodie is red as it represents danger and blood, it also stands out in a crowd, which isn’t usually something you would want for a shifty character but we are aiming at creating a very obvious irony that will make it clear to the viewer from the beginning who he is and what he does. The hoodie will have ‘TAG’ written on the back in big, clear white letters as this can be zoomed in on to use as the film title in the opening credits as the film is called ‘Tag’. This will also add to the ‘in your face’ style irony and make it crystal clear who he is from the beginning. Jeans were chosen to keep the outfit very casual in contrast to Hopes work outfit which will create an obvious contrast between the two characters. Dark shoes were chosen simply as to not draw attention to them.
