Character Costumes and Props (OTS Little Red Riding Hood)

LumberJack
Upper - Checked shirt with a white top / vest underneath (Stereotypical clothing for a lumberjack and will be undone at the top to show his practical side) 

Lower - Blue/Black Jeans and a Tan leather belt (This also shows that he is a practical man) 

Shoes - Brown hiking / Walking boots (Again to show his practical side as he mostly spends his time walking in the woods) 

Props - Axe (Key Prop to story line as throughout the narrative it reminds him of what he did) 

Hairstyle - Messy spiked up / Comb over (If he has messy hair, that could show his rural nature side r, however if he has a comb over it will link better with film noir and show is serious side) 


Red Riding Hood 
Body - Red Dress (links with Red Riding, as she dressed in red and shows warning signs that she is dangerous), Fluffy collar (Red will show connotations to a little red's hood, Black will work well with the red and will show a sense of darkness and her evil side) 

Shoes - Heels (are a typical shoe for the femme fetal and the look formal and elegant) 

Props - Cigarette (Gets rid of her innocence to show she isn't good), Pistol (Deadly, is discreet / small enough, to show she has little power) 

Make-up and Hair - Long and Wavy Hair (To cover some of her face and not reveal herself to much) Red Lipstick (links with danger) 



The Wolf 
Upper - Black Jacket and Tie (To show that he is evil and dark and to show the audience that he think he is the most powerful) 

Lower - Black trousers (Add to him being evil and links with film noir, with the villain wearing black)

Shoes and Hat - Smart Black shoes (showing a formal business man) Black trilby (occasionally wearing it, he will take it off when the narrative begins to get dramatic) 

Props - Cigar (Instead of cigarette to show that he has the most power) Pistol (Bigger pistol to show that he has killed before) 

Hair - Slicked hair (A common looked for a villain in film noir) 


Gangster 
Body- Same as the Villain without the jacket (This is to show that the gangsters less power to the wolf but similar clothing to show that they work for the villain), some will wear a trilby 

Hair - Slicked back (a common look for a gangster in film noir)

Props -  Pistol (To show they have less power than the Wolf)
