(New) Costume Planning/Character

This is our main character, Amelia.
She is 16 years old and in Sixth Form.  The audience will relate to her because she is of a similar age, and in further education.  Since she is
a female lead, men may feel  that she is attractive (Male gaze theory) and that’s why they want to watch the film, and also females can relate to that character because she’s a generic teenage girl, there is nothing strange or different about her.
In any horror film, and generally in every film costume and props are very important because it can connote different things, whether it’s representing a role, showing signs of stereotypes they are both required. The costume that the character is wearing is simple but is yet still effective. The character is wearing a light blue long sleeved shirt and plain black trousers, she is generally covered, and this goes against the horror convention of woman because she is not seen an hypersexual. At first, our original character had brunette hair and we were considering giving that person a blonde wig and dress her in skimpy and revealing clothing so that we can go along with the convention of horror and connote the stereotypical blonde girl
