Changing The Costumes for the Second Shooting

After the first days filming we took our footage back to school and had a look at it before the editing process. However we decided upon reflection that the footage was not of a satisfactory standard, and as a result of this we decided that we are going to re-shoot the film entirely in order to improve it.


One of the main improvements that we thought would help would be to change the costume because it was also very basic and not very interesting and didn't make the thriller any better, so as a result of this we decided to change the costume.


The changes that we are going to make are not going to be to drastic however we have decided that a smarter approach will be better. The initial costume for most of the characters is a blue pair of jeans with a white shirt untucked and with the top button undone and also after the death scene we used an acrylic paint in order to replicate blood, however when we looked at this on the camera it looked very tacky and fake.


Because of this we decided to change the costume of the main character to a pair of smart black jeans and a smart jacket and this will make the character look smarter and have more of a sense of authority as the person is eventually going to be in the commanding role when he is killing people. we also decided not to use blood in the re-shoot.



Here is a picture of Charlie wearing what we decided the costumes should initially look like with the fake blood. 













Here is a picture of me wearing the changed costume which is a much more smart look and you can see that we do not use fake blood here as it looked tacky, and this more smart approach makes the main character look a lot more threatening.
