Costumes and Props

Costume
Our opening sequence only features 3 characters and we decided to keep it very close to the film noir's signature style.


Police Officer/Detective (Left)


  • Pink shirt because we thought that the colour pink would contrast very well in black and white as you can see displayed in the photographs. The pink came off as a dark grey which we thought gave a nice contrast from the other characters clothing
  • Braces which were used gave a very retro, detective feel for a 40s type of character, made him look smart yet laid back.
  • A Black tie to finish the overal Detective look
  • Black trousers and shoes, for smart appearance.


Detective Phillip Meyers (Right)
  • White shirt with rolled up sleeves with a black waist coat on. Made sure the blacks and whites stand out on film. Rolled up sleeves and unbuttoned top to make him look like he's had a hard day
  • Black trousers and shoes to complete the overall look.
Vivienne Waldorf


  • 40s styled Cardigans and Shirts
  • Pencil Skirt
  • Stiletto Heels and Tights
  • Red Lip Stick (Lustful colour fit for a Femme Fatale)
  • Kept it very stylish for its era and alluring for a male.
