The thriller movie called, It Follows shares many similarities in the costume design and location of our movie. however there are still some key differences that separate the two movies. However the effect given from It Follows is quite close to the effect given from Manor Way (our thriller movie).
Throughout this clip form It Follows you can see a character wearing a white pyjama top and
shorts. This costume design was worn so that the audience will believe the character is innocent and also seen as vulnerable. In It Follows the character is seen wearing heels also. This would show a stereotype of her being feminine and with that weak.
As seen in my First attempt post there is some similarities in the way that they are dressed. Out protagonist is seen wearing a white pyjama top with pink pyjama bottoms. We dressed our character in pink because pink is seen to be girly and associated with being weak or feminine. We did this so that she would seem to be a 'Girly-girl' and to later eradicate the stereotype that 'girly-girls' are weak or that the colour pink should indicate anything.
The character in It Follows is also wearing heals, this would make the audience feel uncomfortable and make them wonder why she is dressed in the way she is, and doing what she is doing in the way she is dressed. In our opening the costume picked would also create a unsettling feeling because a young girl is covered in blood, and this image is unnatural because this isn't normally seen.
The location that It Follows is set is outside on a main street with houses surrounding the road. Our opening is set as seen in my post, thriller opening location, has the the same surroundings however we plan to film at night when it is dark, whereas It Follows has some natural lighting.
