As a group we put much thought into the costuming of our actors. Our initial storyboard depicted the main character wearing a bright red tshirt - making him stand out from the background and the other actors whilst also acting as a symbol for danger and violence with the colour red. This was, however, not the case when it came to purchasing costume as we could not find an appropriate shirt for our actor. We adapted our plan when we found a grey tshirt with a brightly coloured design on it. The red and blue patterning on the shirt means that the actor stands out from the backdrop and the grey is in stark contrast with the black of the extras costumes. Grey also fits with the Sci-Fi genre as it fits on the monochrome spectrum which makes it more appropriate than bright, cheery colours.
For our extras we planned for them all to be clothed in dark colours to give a sense of all the bodies blending together in the background, especially with the dark filter we intend to put on the footage. This works very well as it is difficult for the audience to figure out what exactly is in the background.
