Costume Research

We have done some research in the outfits the characters wear in horror films. We found that in most horror films they wear casual clothing. This is because they want the audience to relate to the characters as everything appears to be normal then something changes. Also by having the characters wear casual clothing this makes it more believable and realistic. One of the film we researched was the 2017 remake of Stephen King's 'IT'. All of the main characters wear casual clothes like jeans and top throughout the whole film which is also shown in the images below. We decided as a group to choose this style of clothing for the trailer as it will be effective on the audience as they will be able to relate to the characters and from researching IT we hope this will be one of the reasons our trailer is successful.
