Costume and PropsCostume and props are very important in the media industry as it gives an idea of the characters personality, their surroundings and how they live there life. Costumes are made to be realistic to make the film as real as possible. I will be comparing 2 film genres to see how each
genre have a typical ‘ costume’ and how it relates to each genre. I will also be finding films as examples for each genre.
The two genres I will be comparing is horror and ……This is because I am familiar with these genres and think that I can find
the biggest contrast, similarity's and differences between them.
Genre One - HorrorThe villains costumes in most horror films are dark and usually black, grey or red as there dark colours connote danger and other things associated with horror films. The costumes are also very covering for example the photo on the left is from the film scream which the main villain is dressed head to toe in black to hide his identity. Props are also used like a mask to again hide the identity of the killer. This also adds mystery and tension to the film which keeps the audience waiting and wanting to know the identity of the villain. This is the stereotypical costume for a villain but it is used in lots of horror films including V for Vendetta, dark shadows and Dracula.
Genre two – Sci-Fi Sci- fi films have very different outfits depending on the context and the plot of the film. On the photo to the left in the film men in black there is a big contrast between the hero's and the villains, one reason being that the hero's are human and the villains are aliens.
The hero's are dressed smartly with smart s suits on and ties which show how professional they are and is stereotypically what the ‘good guy’ wears in sci - fi films for example police, military or in the men in black films alien hunters. The villains on the other hand are made to look different using special effects and post editing production. This is too create a difference between the hero's and the villains and so that the audience can see a contrast and can tell who is who.
