Cast and costumes

Camera man and Director; Tom

No costume needed apart from casual clothing that is easy to move around in.

Marilyn; Played by me (Kirsty)

Dressed in a black 1950's style dress, to match with the genre and era of the film. Also dressed in a fur coat, black heels and white pearls to show she is elegant and extremely wealthy. To symbolise she is a woman of passion we have added red lipstick to the costume, it is also symbolises the blood of her husband, whom she murders. Putting her in a black costume shows she is mounring for her husband after his death but also hides the fact she killed him herself, as the style of the dress emphasises elegance.

Policewoman; Played by Sophie

Dressed in the stereotypical police uniform colours of black and white, to show she is a part of the profession. Casually dressed as they would have been in the 1950's, still need to create a badge and hat to make the costume more realistic to the audience. Hair is tyed back as she would have needed to blend in with the male workers.

Detective and Partner; Played by Zoe and Ryan

Detective: In smart 3/4 jeans with tailored cream coat. Suggests power and feminism. Not one to dress like a stereotypical 1940s lady. Tweed bakers hat, typical popular pattern of the era.

Partner: Long sleeved white shirt with black trousers; simple and sophisticated. With black tweed hat to inidcate his occupation as many detectives would wear hats in the 40s.

Police officer; Played by Sam Sorrell

Decided to keep the costume simple using the stereotypical colours associated with police uniforms, this was used to keep costs to a minimum. However in the 1940s they would have not been as strict on uniform as they relied on detectives rather than groups of policemen to solve crimes, therefore they weren't as important.
