COSTUME







After much personal debate on the subject of black stripes v's orange jumpsuit for my prison trailering, i have reached my final decision. The orange costume is by far a more sensible choice, let me know if you believe otherwise.

It is clearly a noticeable luminous colour, this adds to the excitement and thrill of the escape and makes the 'impossible' seem 'possible'. It would clearly stand out if an individual was to escape in this particular clothing, hense the reason why a high class private detective is hired to discover  how a young prisoner has managed to get away with such a deviant act.

Another reason as to why i chose to invest in a orange costume instead of the black and white one-suit was because of the era my trailer is going to be set in. It is a modern trailer advertising a contemporary film. My  approach is not to confuse my audience or for them to wonder what century this trailer is taking place. The orange jumpsuit is still being used in prisons throughout the U.K making this product more suitable and relevant. The colour significance will appear throughout and the viewers will immediately recognise the prison from the detective and be able to segregate and understand good v's evil. This is important because without plot understanding, the trailer becomes confusing and disorganised.

Typically, orange jumpsuits are used on prisoners, so that if someone was to escape (doubtingly), they are easily noticed by others and police are then instantly informed. With my choice of costume and content in my trailer, i am able to adjust the rules and conventions and have my prisoner successfully escape leaving no or little evidence behind.

A practical advantage of this costume is also the fact that it is waterproof! meaning i can film in any weather i find suitable.
