Planning - Outfits

The four main characters wore stereotypical outfits for the younger generation. They wore brands such as Lacoste and Nike as these are popular with our demographic. For the scenes in the barn we kept the outfits natural, dull colours in order to link with the setting. If the characters had been wearing bright, bold colours then it would have been more difficult to create the eerie, spooky atmosphere we were looking for. Even in the scenes away from the barn we tried to keep the outfits as bland as possible in order to maintain the atmosphere we had created.

The spirit is represented as a black, ghostly figure in the background of two shots. To create the ghostly figure we used a nun fancy dress outfit with the headpiece on backwards. This worked effectively as it was fluid enough to blow in the gentle wind to create a scary, intimidating character. We chose the colour black as it links to our use of the fade to black due to fear of darkness and fear of the unknown.
