Costume - Victim (1)

As a group we have discussed what we think the costume should be for the little girl who is the vulnerable victim. In order to portray the vulnerability I believe that the costume for the victim should be a white dress which is appropriate for going to church. 

The use of the colour white provides the connotation that this character is innocent, naïve and vulnerable as well as pure and young. However, we also need to be careful to not make it appear as though she is wearing a wedding dress. The idea I have an idea for the dress is that it is like a pinafore with lace and embroidery. 

I also think that the use of ribbons would provide a visual aid of the little girls innocence and naivety. 

As well as the white I think that the use of light blue could work effectively as well because the colour also provides connotations of youth and innocence and also long life which is a juxtaposition against the plot. We also need to be careful not to make the actress look too young as the type of dress we have in mind is quite youthful.
