Justification:
When conducting my research I found that most of the characters wore either red or black (or both) as they have connotations of death, danger and fear. Therefore, when choosing the colours for Leon's costume we chose to make him wear red and black to fit in with the conventions. Also he is wearing quite smart, formal clothes to not only show his intellect but that he doesn't fit in with other people in his school environment, as everyone else in the shots will be wearing quite casual, informal clothes. Glasses are stereotypically associated with intelligence so Leon is wearing large glasses to show how academic he is. Furthermore, when watching 'Falling Down' (another psychological thriller) the main character wore large glasses as well, as in psychological thrillers stereotypes are often played up to.

Jemima as Mia
Justification:
Jemima wears a lot of black in the opening of our film to show death and fear. She also wears a red scarf to show danger and it is a signifier to the connection that she has with Horatio because he is also wearing a red tie. Furthermore, she is wearing a grey jumper and the colour grey has connotations of a loss of hope, which is what she will feel at the end the of film.
