After doing some experimental filming with our cast members Kira and Millie, we decided that it would be a good idea to dress the ghost character (Ruth) in a contrasting costume to reflect the dream like state in which she is appearing in. We looked at the film trailer 'Don't look now' and the storyline is of a young girl who dies and then keeps reappearing as a spirit. The red dress she wears is a very important factor as her father keeps seeing this colour after she dies. The colour red also represents the idea of death and blood.
This trailer influenced our costume ideas and we have come to the conclusion that we want Ruth to wear a red dress because it is such a vibrant colour and will be memorable to the audience who watch our trailer. We already have access to a red dress as our drama department have allowed us to borrow it during our filming. We aren't going to make any changes to the costume for Millie (playing the part of Lucy) as the school uniform fits in perfectly with the surroundings and her role.
