Costumes - Victim

By chose of our costumes we wanted to show the personalities of both characters, and create the contrast between them. We wanted to show how hopeless is the situation of the victim. She is a young vulnerable girl, not ready, surprised by grow up, ruthless psychopathic murderer with massive knife firmly held in his hand. He does not say anything, does not explain why just continues his revenge plan.

Overall
Victim, unlikely to the killer does not expect anything to happen, does her daily activities. As victim is quite young her pyjama will portray some pink and bright colours in order to highlight her age.

Shirt
White or any other bright colour in order
to make blood more visible and also to
present her as a pure, clean child that
is unlikely to contribute to someone's death.

Trousers
Any type of pyjama trousers, best if matches to the shirt or include things that are usually on child accessories e.g. : colourful images, animals, flowers..etc. This would focus our attention on her age and arouse questions why is she killed?

Socks
We deliberately didn't use any socks as naked feet connotate the coldness and add to her image as defenceless and vulnerable.

Slippers

Crucial factor while trying to make her look vulnerable, especially when they are intended to look like some animal therefore made with a soft material.
