Final Costume

During the filming process, our original costume plan was altered due to issues with filming and availability.

• Originally we had planned to include a dark suit for the antagonist of red and black to connote both danger and the spilling of blood but due to filming difficulties we chose to opt for a white and black outfit with red elements. This worked better for us due to it's visibility, enabling the clown to be seen more easily in the dark due to the lack of lighting available on location.
• We also planned to spray the clown's hair green but due to the dark lighting of our location and the use of black and white CCTV filter in the tunnel, the colouring would have been barely visible and so therefore we chose not to include this colouring. 
• The original face paint chosen was also altered for filming purposes, blood was added dripping from the eyes and the black around them was made larger, drawing attention towards the darkness and the unnatural features of the clowns face as to make it appear more sinister.
• Also, we originally intended to use red contact lenses to convey supernatural inhuman elements but found again, like the hair colouring, it would have very little impact on overall shots. We also made this decision as the large quantity of red already intended in each of our shots would have caused the majority of the mise en scene to suggest bloodshed, which isn't used within this particular scene. The contrast of the pale blue eyes against the dark black and red features of the face paint also created a more startling affect, as they seem far more prominent and chilling as they stare into the camera in close up shots.

Costume

Antagonist Costume

Clothing-wise the killer will wear clothing typical of a clown but with dark colouring. Red and black costumes are our desired choice as we want to easily demonstrate that the clown connotes evil and danger and foreshadows death as soon as it is seen onscreen, creating a sense of fear. It is also important that the costume hides any gender behind the character as we want them to remind anonymous and unrelated to humanity as much as possible, not giving it any human or gender specific qualities to detach it from the victim and the audience.

A pair of large, old, distressed boots would help define the survival of the killer and their ability to still be standing. A pair of red or black boots would be more suitable for this purpose as if using red, a close up shot of the clown's feet could be used to introduce them onscreen for the first time having seen the red balloons and establish a connection between them.

Pairing a creepy clown painted face with a pair of red contact lenses enables us to re-enforce the lack of humanity and innocent within the killer and again, detach them from any possibly empathy or reasoning behind their actions. Also, it suggests the contrast between itself and society's view of what clowns are (humans in comic clothing), establishing that this evil is not related.
