Antagonist Costume ideas

We are planning on using a sack looking mask to hide the identity of the antagonist which will leave an enigma because the audience wont know who it is and why they are wearing the mask. The ragidy effect of the mask makes the person wearing it look rough and unwelcoming creating fear and tension in the audience.

To create the mask we will use an old pale brown or white pillow case, rip the eyes and mouth hole, then sew the mouth up without care just like it shows in the image. We will then rip random parts of the mask and add dark eye shaddow/powder paint around the eyes to make it look more distressed. Due to the oldness it makes you think that the antagonist is'nt new to wearing it meaning he has been killing and halming people for a long time.


The antagonist will also be wearing a suit just because it would make it difficult to identify the character which creates many enigmas gives the antagonist an original identity i.e. the movie is based in a middle class settings which makes the antagonist stand out as not many characters would wear a suit unless there is a special occasion. Suits can also connote power and wealth which describes an upper class person; we are using how powerful the characters are depending on what class they are in meaning the antagonist will be perceived and assumed as upper class because he is wearing a suit.
