Costume: Antagonist


The antagonist will also be dressed very casually too since they also are, almost, undercover and don't want to draw too much attention.
The first costume for our Antagonist is a simple black hoodie, black jeans, black shoes.The black hoodie would be good as the Antagonist can have the hood up hiding their identity. Also, having the Antagonist dressed in full black would help to connote their "Darkness." This outfit could also be seen as the typical thing for someone like a burglar to wear connoting that this Antagonist probably shares some traits with a burglar. The outfit also doesn't give away anything anyway as the audience wouldn't be able to tell the gender, race, age, class.

There is a second option for the Antagonist's outfit as we were unsure which would fit better. This one is more smart which would show that the Antagonist is a professional. Also, as our production would be based partly in a forest area, seeming as he is dressed smartly it would be as if they knew they wouldn't get dirty or anything because they knew he would win the fight, as if mocking their victim. Even though this doesn't hide their identity as well as the hoodie we could keep their face in the shadows, adding tension within the audience as the face of the Antagonist is right in front of them but they can't fully see them.
