Costume

In our second shot the character is wearing a coat and black jeans. Having the character wear a coat suggests the film is set in a cold, wet place which is a common theme in horror films, some of which include; 'Friday the 13th'  'The Amityville horror' and 'Halloween'. Coats can also be used in horror films to add connotations to characters. It could be used to suggest the character is weak and that they are vulnerable to the elements. Often paired with this is would be an antagonist that is wearing no sort of coat which makes the antagonist seem more powerful. Another use for coats, in particular puffy coats would be to make one of the victims seem big and powerful before anything happens to them, this further elevates the perceived threat of the antagonist. Generally the antagonist would wear dark clothing in horror films but that wouldn't be possible in our film, although having the protagonist wearing dark jeans still gives the same impression, it gives the idea that where the film is set is not safe.
