Neo Noir Costume Plan

Femme Fatale Costume

 Dress 1- We decided to have the femme fatale in a tight red dress, the red due to the connotations of blood, danger, and lust. The reveling style of the dress makes the femme fatale appear seductive and manipulative. We centered around creating a glamorous bold character.

Dress 2- Still very similar to the first dress bold, and bright; we wanted the femme fatale to stand out. The character of the femme fatale is being presented as a binary opposite to the wife, she is in stark contrast to her as she is wearing bright seductive clothing and expensive accessories.











 Dress 1 (with jacket) - we decided to add a leather jacket not only for practical reasons due to the typical British weather, but because it creates a 'bad girl' vibe about our character, it makes the character relate more to the protagonist as she appears to not follow the rules as much.




Suit- We wanted the protagonist to look powerful and wealthy, we chose an expensive suit as it makes him look important and smart, as if he takes his job seriously.




















Purple Tie- In addition to the suit we wanted the protagonist to wear a purple tie because the colour purple connotes wealth and luxury. This emphasizes his profession and how he takes his job seriously.

Wife Costume 







Black Cardigan- The wife of our film noir is going to be wearing dark dull colours to mirror her personality in the film. We want her to strongly contrast to the femme fatale as she will be wearing dark unflattering clothing.

Black trousers- Plain black straight line trousers, are still very simplistic and dull.

 White blouse- The white blouse shows shes a serious character. It presents her as someone who possibly works and is an independent woman.

Apron- This apron is to show the wife as a stereotypical 1950's housewife. She is shown as hardworking and innocent. e want the audience to sympathize with the character as her husband doesn't respect or show affection for her.
