As mentioned before, the girl in our thriller wears a white dress to connote innocence and purity, contradicting what you see on the screen.
We also put a red cardigan over the white dress in some scenes, as this has the obvious connotation of blood and death. In the scenes where she is 'innocent' we had her wearing a red headscarf. Again the red connotes blood, but this was not our main intention for this detail. What we wanted to show was childishness. This happy, cheerful scarf is in absolute contrast to the black satin-y one we use when the girl is 'crazy'.
We focused on quite a few details. For example, we decided to use a dark green nail varnish rather than the obvious black or red. Still a suitable colour, but not cliche.
We have left her hair wild and undone (we felt a sleek hairstyle wouldn't fit).
We had just simple make-up, as anything more complex could distract, although did have quite heavy eye make-up, as quite a few of the clips we use focus on her eyes. We felt that this would add emphasis.
