Characters and costume

These are the sketches of costume and the ideas for the characters I want to use within the opening to my thriller film.

Two Maffia Henchmen of Monika Queiro

The idea of the Two Henchmen is to base them around the typical Gangster duo such as Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction.

The Maffia men used in our sequence are to wear suits to follow this style as well as dark sunglasses so we never see there true identities as characters. There props will include cigarettes, guns and any type of weapon such as a baseball bat to use when atacking there victim.

The two maffia men are hired by Monika Quiero and are nameless to also help with the idea of there lack of identity.

Here is a rough drawing of the idea I had in mind for the costume for the characters.

Ali's Henchman (nameless)

He's seen as the loser "junkie". with his scruffy costume and appearance. This also helps give the audience the impression that he's been held hostage for quite a while.
He's one of the lesser Henchmen of Alias he's just a drugs carrier, shwoing that Monika is prepared to kill everyone of Ali's staff before she gets her ultimate revenge on him.

He's similar to most "losers" of a thriller film such as Robert De Niro in Jacke Brown playing Louis Gara, who sits at home all day smoking crack with Melanie the other loser junkie.

Monika Quiero

Monika is the Femme-fatale of this thriller as well as the main character.

She's out to get revenge on Ali by slowly killing his henchmen one by one as we see the opening of the thriller.

She's seen in this sketch wearing a pencil skirt to show her seriousness as well as her sex appeal as she uses sex and maniupulation tradtional to that of her a femme fatale to get her own way.

Her red heels and red lips show her dominance as a female as well as her danger as a character.

She's also going to be seen smokin a cigarette throughout the opening to show her bad side as well as being significant action of a femme fatale of a thriller.

Her actions are similar to those of Helen-Bonham Carter as she's seen always smoking and in Black as she's being introduced as a character. Also gives her that added sense of mystery about her.She's also based on other femme fatales such as Uma Therman in Kill Bill and Pam Gier in Jackie Brown as they each where independent females using there own initiative to gain there revenge.
