Costume Decisions

Our costume choice was directly linked to the characters personas. My character, Megan, suffers from mental illnesses (which are often associated with split personalities). To represent this I wore mix-matched clothing and clashing colours at the beginning of the film, and a black coat towards the end to represent a sinister presence. The Devil/Charlie (played by Jess Whight) wore a red top throughout, to represent evil and hatred as well as a black cardigan which carries the connotations of death and mystery. Jess Whight also used make-up in order to make her look like the typical femme fatale. With her blonde hair, black cat-like eye make up and bright red lips, she looks the epitome of bad news. Our Angel/Catherine wore a white top to imply an angelic quality teamed with a purple cardigan which is often associated with regality and honour. Below is a key clearly showcasing our costume decisions;
