Blue Jeans
Grey Converse trainers
Grey Jumper
We would like Rihannon Haileys to wear casual clothing. She is a teenager and is walking along on the beach on a windy day, so the clothes she is wearing have to keep her warm, but she must still feel comfortable and able to move around easily. She is wearing a pair of jean and a grey hoodie jumper. The jumper has BOSTON written on it in red. In thrillers, the colour red being used in a costume foreshadows violence and blood. For example, the femme fatale's red nails in the opening of Once Upon A Time In America. Rihannon is by herself and she hasn't bothered to make herself look particularly nice, however she is wearing pearl earrings, which add a touch of sophistication and glamour to her costume. Pearls also connote misery and each represent individual tears. In thrillers, pearls are a subtle genre convention showing that she is a femme fatale.
Serena look at the trailer for the Andrea Arnold film "Fish Tank" on YouTube, your main character also suggests a character from a gritty British social realist drama. Note that the traditional femme fatale (film noir) though alluring and glamorous is objectified (Gilda, Eve in Once Upon a time in America, Marion Crane (Psycho) and a threat. The femme fatale is considered to be a misogynist contruction, her deviance is punished or the character is domesticated!!!!
