We want to create the most realistic feel possible to the film, and to make the scenarios as life like as we can, therefore we will use a variety of different outfits depending on the situation the actors are in. In research that I have carried out, I have found that the clothing used in romance films aren't specific to the genre, and that the clothing the actors wear will depend on their personality/character that they are playing.
For the section of the film that involves the male character being in an office/work situation and showing that this is his job, we have decided to use a formal suit to show that he is in a business scenario in a formal environment. Suits have connotations of authority, which is a concept of abusive that is very prominent when it is shown. The presence of the suit will show that he is authoritative in the relationship, portraying that he is controlling towards his finance´.
We will be filming a couple of scenes outside for the film, and because of the time of year that we a re filming, it will be very cold for the actors. As a result, we have chosen for the actors to wear coats, boots, hats and scarves. We made this decision not for any reasons relating to the film trailer, but purely to ensure that the actors are warm and for practical reasons. It is something that we highlighted in our risk assessment document, so these costumes will help to reduce this risk.
To show the relaxed atmosphere in the relationship at the beginning of the trailer, the actors will wear casual clothing e.g. jogging bottoms or leggings and jumpers. This will show that they are comfortable in each others presence, and allow the audience to see this personal connection.
