For our main character, we decided to use clothes such as tracksuit bottoms and a plain t-shirt, as these are casual items of clothing and therefore fitting to his personality. This is due to the fact that our protagonist is suffering from mental illness and addiction, including depression and alcoholism, and that he would therefore not be particularly bothered about his appearance unless he has to be. In addition to this, this clothing is also fitting because the scene opens on the protagonist asleep on the sofa, and so it is reasonable for him to be wearing comfortable clothing due to the fact that he is home alone and has no intentions of going out. This is relevant until the end of the scene, when he changes into work clothing.
For our antagonist, on the other hand, we chose dark clothing such as the black hoodie, bandanna and chinos as we want him to appear intimidating and also blend into the shadows easier. This will work to create more unease within the audience, as the black clothing will make him appear more mysterious and will also give the effect of a 'shadow', which is fitting due to the fact that the antagonist is following the protagonist throughout the scene. Finally, the hoodie is an important piece of clothing as it will hide the killer's face from the camera, leaving the audience questioning who he is.
