Poppy's Costume

-
Like Bobby, we are going to use the colour wheel to get inspiration for Poppy.


For Poppy's main colour, we have chosen red. This is because when paired with black (Bobby's colour), it creates a very aggressive colour scheme, which is exactly the kind of characters we are presenting. 

Red represents danger and strength, which is an obvious choice for Poppy, however it also represents passion, desire and love. Whilst Poppy is a thrill killer and feels no emotion for Bobby, many films and TV shows present everything women does as being related to or for a man. Giving a nod to lust may make the plot easier to follow and the short more enjoyable for the audience to watch. 

Using an accent colour such as red stimulates people to make impulse, quick decisions in advertising. This can also double up as Poppy's style of thrill killing, which is often on impulse.

I am also researching some female killers in films in order to see their costumes and gain inspiration. Here are some items that we are going to use for Poppy's costume and where they came from:

Fur Coat and Red Lipstick - Under The Skin 
In this movie, a woman uses her power of lust to lure and kill men on dates.

Black chokers & necklaces - Ginger Snaps
The main characters in this movie are outcasts of society, like Poppy.

Bobby's Character Profile

Wednesday February 21st Bobby is a male aged between 18 and 20. He is tall and strong in stature, however looks completely normal. He takes on the characteristics of an “organised” serial killer.  Here is a list of common character traits for an "organised" killer: From this list, Bobby will have many characteristics. He will be socially adequate, which is shown in both his interaction with Poppy, how he holds a conversation and in his response to the direct interview. He dismembers the body and leaves little physical evidence, as he eats the evidence, with a controlled crime scene. His house will appear very clean and well kept and he dates women. Even further, he uses seduction and his interpersonal skills in order to attack his victim. This list also helped us to form Bobby's character. He has obviously planned this act beforehand, as seen by his recipe for Poppy Puttanesca, and gets pleasure out of. His victim is a young woman and he clearly has no fe...

Survey Analysis

Thursday 1 March We got 24 responses to our survey. 70% were female and these are the age ranges from our respondents: Question 4 This question asked the public what films they have watched and enjoyed in the last 6 months.  The three most popular genres were comedy, action and documentary. Whilst our film is not necessarily an action film, the comedy and documentary is a pleasing result, as it is clear that many ages and genders have watched and enjoyed these types of films. The people that did not watch and enjoy comedy seemed to overwhelmingly be older females (46-55 and 75+), whilst that for documentaries came from the younger population. Despite this, I think that the comedy aspect represents more for our target audience and we can expect to target a young audience. Question 5 This question asked our audience what aspect of a film they felt was most important. Whilst this question may not help in finding out who our target audience is, it will help...

Bobby's Costume

Bobby https://www.ranker.com/list/serial-killers-wearing-victims-clothes/christopher-shultz   This link gave me an idea to include an item of clothing on Bobby that is worn by some of his victims in the photographs that are more prominent on screen, so this nod to what Bobby does is a lot more out there for the audience. I am planning to use this colour wheel in order to design the costumes of the characters. For Bobby, I think that wearing black will be the best option. Not only will this blend in well with the set, which includes dark colours: It also represents how Bobby is associated with power, evil, mystery and death. It also can be associated with black humour (which is the basis of our film) and will allow the viewer to subconsciously realise that Bobby exerts strength and authority, whilst also creating an air of mystery and diminishes readability. We have also taken costume inspiration from a character named Trent in the TV Show...
