Costumes for our Thriller


As we only require one actress, the only costume we need is a dirty, torn, wedding dress. This should be fairly easy to acquire as we already have a few options. Websites like Amazon and eBay sell cheap wedding dresses that we could use, however, we don't want to spend too much money on the dress as it will be ruined by the end of the filming. If we do order from the internet, then the delivery times will have to be within the next few days to arrive in time. If we do not manage to order a dress in time, Claudia has an old whit dress at home that she does not wear, so we will use that if we can't acquire a wedding dress. We are aiming spend no more than £50 on the dress and postage, we feel that our choices from Missguided and eBay are the best value for money, and also are most likely to arrive in time for the 23rd.
We feel that the wedding dress is an ideal costume to have as it emphasis the surreal nature of the event, while also connoting that if the offender has developed a style to his crime, then he has most likely committed a similar action before. We feel this extenuates the thrilling nature of our sequence, as the audience want the girl to escape the coffin and catch the offender.

After searching for a wedding dress in various shops in London and Guildford, we decided that the internet would be the best chance of finding an affordable dress, and after looking on Amazon, we found this dress for £30.

We decided that the long sleeves looked best for our piece, as it looked traditional, and the price of the dress meant that we could experiment with dirt and bloodstains to create a roughed up look.
