Costume Choices

What a character is wearing can instantly tell the audience alot about a them, costume is therefore very important in a trailer as the audience don't get long at all to see the character so it can give a bit of insight into them.


News Reporter
A news reporter isn't somebody who is instantly recognisable like a policeman, but its still very important that they are wearing the right clothes for realism otherwise people could easily get confused.



News reporters will always be dressed smartly so i therefore thought a good costume would be a plain black skirt, with a shirt. Wearing a skirt shows that the character cares about her femininity, and that she is dressed smart helps show that she cares about her job. 
Because the character will only have a small appearance in a trailer it's not too important that the costume tells the audience about her characteristics and traits, it's more important that the costume is convincing and can help the audience in thinking that it really is a news reporter on screen.






Main Character- Jack Duke
Because he is the main character his clothes can perhaps give a bit more away about him than the news reporter. Because he is not doing his job like the news reporter his clothes don't need to convince the audience as much but can more give a bit of an insight into the character.

I thought he could be wearing very basic clothes like a plain hoodie and jeans, as this contrasts with what he's doing as he'll look like just an average person, but he's also a hero killing zombies. I also decided that his clothes should be very dark as the character is very lonely and still mourning the death of his family.

This outfit will look very plain and will contrast alot to what he's actually doing if he's holding guns and hunting zombies.
