I decided to use the films "Blair Witch" and "Blair Witch 2" for my costume inspiration as both films star teenagers located within a forest.
Within horror films located within a forest, teenagers are put into costumes that show their youth and also fit into the location. The costumes also establish their personality and their role within the film.
Check shirts are very common to use and fit in with the scenes.
They also wear costumes that are suitable for the environment, for example within this shot the character wears a hat and a coat.
Dark colours are worn throughout.
This character shows her role within the film as she shows a lot of skin, therefore making her character more provacative than the others.
I decided to use these shots in order to inspire my own costume ideas.
I stuck with the theme of check shirts as my inspiration as I feel that they are the current trend yet still comply with the teenager in a woods situation. They also look made for the outdoors. This outfit has dark blue jeans accompanying it and hat as a woods would tend to be cold and therefore the character must show this.
The previous outfit could be adapted for a male character by adding thicker shoes and much darker jeans, also possibly a water proof jacket.
A provocative character can still fit in with the theme but as pictured, more brighter colours are used to promote a feminine side and also the blouse is tied at the waist to show more skin.
A hooded jacket combined with the shirt would be good for a male character to use and the dark colours make this outfit appear much more masculine.
