Costuming stock horror characters has broadened my knowledge of how simple costumes that are not just the costume for supernatural characters, can be very important and reflect massively on the tones of the film. Researching the typical stock horror characters has been very interesting as I now know how important it is to get colours and styles right for the characters, in order for them to be presented in a way that matches their personality. Equally, researching the descriptions of certain stock horror characters has been very eye-opening, as some of those values and descriptions, do not necessarily comply with what makes that character like that, therefore some clothing choices have been made redundant as time and societal values have changed. Later on, I hope to be more conscious of costuming clothes for more 'normal' characters, as this is crucial for the audience to relate to them, and for the characters's personalities to be properly presented through their clothes.
