Costume for thriller film

As our thriller film is set in modern times, we have tried to adapt the costume to its time period. We have used a sophisticated look for Abigail, yet still modern at the same time (with the high waisted skirt and heels).
We have still managed to keep Abigail looking like she has just arrived home from work, by putting her in a costume that looks suitable for office work.
We have dressed Abigail in a fairly plain outfit, yet we have used the heels and bright red lipstick and nail varnish keep her looking devious and making sure that her role as the femme fatale is clear to the audience. Abigail suggests Marion Crane from "Psycho". Marion is neatly dressed, she works in an office and she is well groomed with elements of the femme fatale about her.



Scott's costume reflects genre conventions, as he is wearing a long dark coat with black boots. This goes along with the noir theme in most typical thriller films.
