As you can see the leather face character where no colour full cloths which are raged and cut to show that he does not care about his looks. We will be going for blacker look to be more symbolic. This is as black show evil and a dark side to life and also death as you are lower to the darkness. Leatherface is one of the scariest and most famous horror villains of all time, we are thinking we would like to have the same impact on our audience, so using a example of leatherfaces costume was appropriate.
Killer’s costume-

Black hoody (For the villain) – The Reason we wanted to use black because it show connotes evil dark and also secretive. We are hoping to use a hood this will hide the identity so the audience will not be able to relate to the killer as they can not see his face. This will also make him more mysterious and we believe that a bit of mystery is important for our character.

Black trousers (For the villain) –
The black trouser are being used for the same reason as the black hoody. It will also mean that he can hide in the darker places easier, this could mean that we could the actor using this costume the ability to hide in a area and suddenly appear to come out of nowhere.
Victim costume –
These cloths are very fitting for the girl as they are semi country with semi fashion for that 70’s era. It is also very symbolic as it is red to show dander and then white to show a nice person with no dark side.
She also has a skirt which makes her seem more open and easy to talk to. This is also out of a horror film
Basic cloths –

Basic cloths –
We will be using cloths like this as the white and red cloths as they symbolise different things to black. White represent calm and also very contemporary. The red represents that the girl is in danger and she is normally sexy.
The killer’s weapon –
The killer’s weapon –
We though he will have knife as a weapon, Knifes are used in many horror and thriller films like in Vacancy. A knife symbolises more of an assassin type of killing as it is silent and also it can cause more of a pain full death as the killer can stab the victim where he want from the foot to the head. Stabbing some one in the leg would be more horror type kill as the killer would make it more painful and really slow death
Good reference to symbolism, but pictures are CRUCIAL to this post!
