Although our thriller falls under the sub-genre of 'Neo-Noir' and therefore was a modern interpretations , we took a large amount of inspiration from the classics of the genre, as seen in Jeremy Fisher's costume, (pictured left, top picture) we decided to modernise the classic detective coat (worn by Humphrey Bogart, right picture) to show the influences of the genre's classics, and also following the conventions of the genre. Colour symbolism is also heavily used in Alison's costume design, (top picture, pictured right) through the use of the red shoes, which stand out against the black and white style of the opening. This design choice was deliberately inspired by director Robert Rodriguez's Neo-Noir film, 'Sin City' (2005), (Bottom picture) which also uses this style of red on black and white. The red helps t emphasise Alison's character as a Femme Fatale, which proves true later in the film.
