Costume for Enigmatic Figures:
The Trilby Hat is a type of Fedora, Fedora's are mostly linked with Mobsters from the 1940's and 1950's. We thought it would be a good idea to use this hat, as it covers half of the face, which could add to the enigmatic feel of the character. This hat will be worn by all of the enigmatic figures.
The main influence for this costume feature is Harry Lime in The Third Man.
The trilby hat connotes a sense of mystery and unknown identity, and can often be linked with deviousness. For example in The Third Man, Harry Lime is the mysterious and devious character, who sold watered down penicillin to hospitals.
Costume For Jonathon (main character):
The colour blue produces a calming effect, and is strongly linked to tranquillity. This makes reveal of the dead mother more dramatic, suggests quite the opposite.
The white t-shirt could connote the boys purity, and could represent that has been drawn into the situation with limited understanding of his mother's actions.
Costume for Mother:
The costume for the mother is deliberately chosen to look middle class, this reinforces the middle class environment, along with the location (a middle class house).

The trilby hat is a classic feature of noir thrillers of the 40's and 40's not the 1960's. Could you correct please. What does the trilby hat connot about your character, could you explain in a little more detail.
