Costume
The main protagonist usually wears wears generic, casual clothing, which in dramas is often used to signify the fact that the protagonist is just a normal person within everyday life, setting a more realistic scene and attempting to explore real life themes and events.
Meanwhile the antagonist usually wears dark, ambiguous clothing to try and not only conceal him, which exploits the fear of the unknown but also to highlight him as dangerous, This is because dark colours like black have connotations of death. This is evident in the trailer for the drama 'Captive' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IKJFYegRJkwhich tries to contrast the protagonist and antagonist with generic vs dark clothing. I really want to replicate this for my trailer so i can develop distinct lines of contrast and conflict between my protagonist and antagonist
However in the same trailer, the antagonist transforms into a secondary protagonist, and as a result he is seen wearing light coloured clothes. This represents his character development as well as real life themes such as redemption.I could also use this in a slightly different way by having the protagonist wear darker colours after the death of the granddad or the ghostly scene where he envisages his parents https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3664132413503481447#editor/target=post;postID=8572036683474600818;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=3;src=postname which could represent his development as he becomes angrier and more emotional, lmost turning to the darker side within him.
