Mise en Scene

Costume
Character A - Antagonist: Wearing a black t-shirt and baggy jeans with grey socks when inside his house to develop the photos. This represents him trying to hide that he is stalking character B by wearing baggy clothing. The dark colours symbolise how his mind is dark and he has a lack of bright, positive feelings other than the possession he holds over character B. The baggy clothing suggests that he is trying to cover himself up as he is not completely himself until he has the relationship he wants with character B.
Character B - Protagonist: She will wear pastel colours which indicates her vulnerability. The paler tones to her clothing suggest purity and contrast with the black tones  worn by the antagonist. This is a theme which is common in the psychological thriller genre conventions.
Character B (younger) - The young girl will wear a pale coloured frilly dress which will represent the purity and innocence the girl holds from a young age when she is around character A.
Character A (younger) - The young boy will wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt to symbolise how he has always been different to other children and does not change throughout his life.
