Clothing Research Effect


 What we all notice in thrillers but never generally talk about is the costumes shown in thrillers, most importantly in thrillers, and in other types of films, gangster films are known for their particular rich style.
In our thriller we decided to go with the stereotype of the male character (Nasir as Charles) wearing a suit because it has a strong effect of power instantly, and we also did not challenge this because we are aiming at a very mainstream target audience, and we want them to recognize the type of film it is and to like it.
The suit Nasir is wearing in our thriller is grey, with a black shirt, this is very effective because the grey is strongly symbolic of ambiguity, and the black shirt is symbolic of dark, and the underworld of society. However, we put these contrast with the weather of day, and a new beginning. This shows new hope, and also explores the idea of temptation, whether to quit or not.
