Clothes and styles of Action films.

When there's always any genre of film the clothes and styles are very important to have. With costumes and suites we can read a part of the characters in the appearance point of view.

Here are some examples from me =) :

• Matrix is a futuristic film so what we see here is that a black leather jacket, trousers, and leather boots are used. I think the reason why these parts are used is because black is a dark colour which socializes with this film, also it's a dark film in some places mostly things are set in dark rooms and night time so this may blend in aswel. Also the background setting for this film is quite alot most dull colours, mostly grey in most scenes and some forms of bright colours but the black is used as a dark colour and also makes the character look evil and sometimes unique, in most film you don't see this type of costume so it links with the futuristic aspect. Also letaher is tight so it brings out the phyical outlook on the charater as a action flim always more or less needs a stongly built or fast moving chararter. Also the glasses are used as a symbol for the film e.g. lightsaber is used for star wars. Also i think the glasses are used for and effect of not noing who this charater is and you'll only see him if he has the glasses, he is unique and different which in a form makes him more dangerous and intimidating.

• Is in type of flim the costume are medevil types of aspects, heavy amour and metal to bring out the strenght aspect point of view and medevil setting.

More heavy equipment needs to be withheld withing this film and maybe a good physic on the character and looks built and ready for battle / derterminded to achieve his goal in the film as this will come across as a good stereotype and role model for the charatcer. I think it will be hard to do a kind of film in our enviroment as it not medevil and the mise en scene would be very hard to to, but from this we can see a layout of a charatcer and what he/ she needs to make him her stand out from the crowd.

I was thinking for my exam to do a gangsta flim so the clothes will have to be taken into consideration in a high outlook upon it and also the mise en scene would be alot more easier to do as today standard is more on that outlook and can make a good opening if the camera shot are placed well and the weather is right to do it.

With this research i can now look at accurate visual outlooks upon character in different types of action flim and needs to there to make the flim successful and professional in its best form as possible.
