Costume design is a very important feature that can communicate to the audience many concepts such as emotions, traits and themes. In out film opening, costume choices will be vital in creating and developing our main character. with him being framed as a high school bully, we can display that, while also hinting at his inner struggles. We can develop and contrast his rough exterior with his vulnerability that lies underneath. This adds depth to his character and the film as a whole, without having to rely heavily on dialogue.
The main characters wardrobe will mostly consist of dark clothing, specifically oversized hoodies, jeans, and darker shoes. These are designed to display a sort of dominance and intimidation given off by the character.

These choices align with the stereotypical bully, helping set him up initially with that role. On top of that, the clothes serve as a metaphorical type of armor, shielding him from the outside world. If possible, we would like to add signs of wear and tear to the clothes as well, reflecting the neglect our character receives at home.
We also will aim to dress the other students at the school i brighter clothing, juxtaposing our main characters dark attire.
By thoughtfully selecting our main character's wardrobe, we can enhance the storytelling process by offering affirming visuals in regard to the perceptions the audience initially picks up about the bully. This ensures that costume design will play a very meaningful and powerful role in shaping the audiences view on our project as well as deepening their emotional investment.
