Organising and Creating Costume

For the two actors in the room we purchased two XL T-Shirts from Primark at £2.50 each. We wanted each of the T-Shirts to contrast the brick wall which is why we chose white. However, we dressed each of T-Shirts up to look heavily worn by created blood marks, sweat stains and holes in the T-Shirt. As you can see below, we used scissors to create a small hole in the T-Shirt and then ripped the hole apart to make it look slightly threaded and that it was created by accident. The sweat stains were used by dipping cotton wall into plain apple juice and letting it soak in on the chest and under the armpits to make the feature look real. There are a few tiny blood stain on the T-Shirt, however, we didnt apply too much as they hadn't started the challenge yet so may not look real. We mainly used blood for the rope to show rope burn and on the face such as nose bleeds and knocked heads.

In addition, for the car scene, we asked Cameron to bring in a suit of his, as his character is very formal and mysterious. Whereas Reagan wore a long black coat to give the impression that she had just come from a night out, meaning that the kidnapping of her may not have been as hard as it seems. Bern, a member of my group, brought in the long black coat for her to wear.
