2. Fedora
The fedora is a style of hat
stereotypically worn by
mafia. This immediately put
the annotation of this
character being the
antagonist as well as being
mysterious as these style of
hats are used to conceal the
hair and can be used to
conceal the eyes of the
person wearing it. Hiding
motives.
Colour Scheme: Red and
Black
The red shows the danger
in the person wearing the
attire, it is an indication
that this person is
dangerous and should be
avoided.
The black symbolises
power, intimidation and
the absence of light. As
light is normally associated
with good, black is
therefore associated with
evil and worn by villains.
Tied back hair
Makes the character look
more masculine and
therefore more powerful
and dominant, as
stereotypically masculinity
is associated with strength.
Tie and Suit
Those make the
character look powerful
as it makes her lookalike

important business.
Successful business

as powerful as they have
a lot of influence and are
wealthy.

character seem powerful to the audience
and could make them fearful of the
character or dislike her. Basically show that
she is the villain.

makes the victim
look vulnerable as it
show’s he might be

that the ropes stand out

white is associated with
purity.
Messy Hair

makes the victim
look like he has
been through a lot
and could suggest a
struggle.

The hoodie is
sometimes
associated with

can be used to hide
someone's identity.
This suggest that
the victim knew he

captured and was
trying to hide.

the victim look
more innocent as
green is associated
with youth.

The overall effect should portray this character as
