Costume/Make Up Research

Most costumes in psychological thrillers are nothing in particular. The more normal you have your clothing the more your film will seem realistic. A lot of actors in the psychological thriller genre seem to wear suits (male). As we do not have male actors in our film we do not need to have a suit. There are suggestionis and certain films that have made the main character limit their food intake in order for them to lose weight to be in a psychological thriller. This is shown in the film The Machinist where Christian Bale lost 120 pounds in order to play the role. (Don't worry girls, he put it back on!)
I would like to think that we are not doing this in our film as it could cause health risks and could potentially put our actor/s in danger. We are planning on having the main character as normal as possible, looking from the outside.
