Costume

We used a white shirt to represent the characters 'good' side. White normally portrays purity and innocence. We also used this type of clothing because it was worn in the era we set our film opening in.The white is also used as a signal for when Dawn is in her normal state of mind and is aware of what she is doing..

We used the black shirt to represent Dawn's 'bad' side. Black normally portrays evil and mystery. This was used to convey how Dawn changed from a good, genuine child to a distorted, psychotic mindset,this contrasts with the white shirt and works well in the split screen and black and white effect.

 

We used a black, long skirt because this was deemed respectable in the era we chose. We decided to use one skirt instead of having one of both colours because the scenes with the white shirt used did not need a skirt.

This also portrays evil mind set and conveys Dawn's unhinged persona.
