Wardrobe choices for Mirage

Lilly

For Lilly’s costume we have chosen to use bright pastel colours to contrast with her twin and establish her happiness before

the haunting begins, adding to the tragedy of the overall story which ends in

her death. The light colours connote her innocence,

which is a common trait amongst the protagonists of horror films. We also

wanted the character to look like a typical teenager, therefore a hoodie and

jeans would give her the casual teenage look.

Mum

We wanted Lilly’s mum to look like a stereotypical mother but with a lack of care given to her

appearance shown through her choice of clothing. The clothing in which she will wear can suggest to

the audience that something is upsetting her which they later discover is due to the death of

her other daughter Stephanie, therefore a shawl would make the actress playing Lilly’s mother look

older, as well as signifying that she has something to

hide which turns out to be her past.

Stephanie

As a group we decided that because Stephanie is a

teenage ghost she would need to have a look in which

made it obvious that she was dead and she was the

ghostly version of Lily (because they are twins).

The reason why we have chosen for Stephanie to wear

dark clothing is because we think that it’ll suggest

that she is dead, mysterious and powerful. However

we want this character to be wearing a hoodie and

converse shoes so the audience recognizes that she is

a teenager.
