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.
