Costume: John Wayne

John Wayne:

The character of John is a rough, edgy detective who presents minimal effort in the way he looks. For this character we have decided to use these examples as costume: Suit with open button at the top of tie, messy hair, rugged stubble, white shirt and leather footwear.


On the left above I have added a picture of Kevin Bacon in a blue suit with messy hair. I have used this example because it fits our planned description of what we entail to dress our actor in as their costume for the character. Also I this picture the costume creates an extra mysterious edge to the wearer as they look rough but have a smart look which is perfect for our narrative as it supports our ideas and also fits the genre conventions specific towards costume and character.

Above and to the right I have added two screen shots from our film opening of myself playing the character of John Wayne wearing the costume we used. It is visible in these screen shots we have used the suit costume design with the lose tie. Also we have given the character messy hair and a rough stubble to fit the conventions and further add to the characterisation.
