Costume Practical

The costume used is inspired by Jason from chainsaw massacre.

The clothes seem very rustic with a lot of rips and tears. The clothes are muddy and cover his whole body not giving any idea of who he could be. This ice hockey mask could simulate violence and a aggressive nature which he clearly does in his films. This is inspirational as this could be easily changed however simulated with different equipment. 

My practical was to create a costume that created the same effect of Jason from chainsaw massacre and did not look stupid or funny. I wanted it to cover the whole body and include a mask that works with the costume but covers his face. 

His face mask is used for angle grinders and high temperature things. Not only does it cover his face but it is very difficult to see his eyes until very close this would be perfect for close ups through shot reverse shot or when he is hiding.

His overalls both conform to a killer who is prepared for his work but also cover his whole body. With extra padding around the chest area with some blood splattered on with makes it look like an arterial wound.
Or blood splattering along his body.

The pictures could be done better with a camera instead of phone as well as in a low key lighting area. This would make the costume look scarier than in bright light. This would conform to most representations of horror films being presented in the dark or low light areas .

Improvements

• Take a picture of the costume individually and the whole together looking at its effect. 
• Use the costume in a low light area with maybe smoke around it making him look dangerous. This could give presentation of how he likes to kill his victims or just make it more atmospheric.
• And if I do take another picture with it on in front of a white background as it looks more professional.
• Also see what the costume is like with blood and if the colour is masked by the dark colour of the boiler suite or if it shows up so we could maybe use it for the future.
