Pre-Production Folder - Costumes

This is what the actors will wear during the shoot. We wanted the man to be wearing jeans, a woolly jumper and boots as it conforms to the fact that he looks like he is just going to do some work. Obviously he is a blue collar and this conforms to our social expectations that a white collar worked would not abuse children. We wanted the girl to wear a white dress to give the idea of innocence which is juxtaposed with the stained dress to show that she has been held captive down in the cellar for a couple of days. we wanted the contrast with the purity of the white and the stain on her dress which represents something althogether more sinister.
