Task Nine: Costume and Make-Up

Costume

Mask 1

This mask will be used by the character Odin who is played by Charlie. We chose this mask for Odin as we wanted an upgrade from the masks used in the previous film. We believe this mask gives more of a sense of professionalism in contrast to the old mask which was more criminal looking. This fits in well with the character as he is the leader of the group and is therefore seen as the most professional. We gave all of the characters different masks to reflect their personalities this time, rather than them all having the same masks.

Mask 2
We chose to use this mask for the character Oracle, played by Yassir. We decided to give Oracle this mask because it gives the character more of a sense of anonymity which fits in well with the character, as he is seen as the 'anonymous' hacker who is only sometimes seen in the battlefield - hiding his identity. The fact you can only see the eyes shows that he is more mysterious than the other members of the group and we believe it fits in perfectly with Yassir's character.

Mask 3

Hulk, who is played by George, will the character using this mask. We thought this mask would be a good choice for Hulk as he is the character that is seen as a brute, and therefore deserves a more \brutish, criminal looking mask than the other characters. It also looks more intimidating than the others, which, combined with the character's size, means enemy characters will be more afraid of him.

Mask 4

This mask will be used for the character Reaper, played by Michael. We chose this mask for Reaper as the name 'Reaper' reminded us of The Grim Reaper, which gave us the idea of giving him a skull/skeleton mask. He will also wear sunglasses so that he bears more of a resemblance to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 character 'Ghost', who Reaper is based off. Similarly to Hulk's mask, it gives the character a more intimidating feel but in a more comedic way - linking to the sarcastic humour of Reaper.

Black Jeans

All of the character will be wearing black jeans. We decided to do this because the shade of black blends in well with the rest of the costume which is all black. It also gives a feel that the characters are still wearing more casual style clothes to highlight the fact that they do not want to necessarily be seen as a 'professional' organisation.

Black Shoes

For the footwear, the characters will once again be wearing different things, however this time it is not based on their characters and is instead just to give the group a more diverse clothing range. All of the shoes worn willl be black to keep with the theme of wearing black clothes, and again, we chose to use more casual looking shoes for each of the characters, rather than smart shoes like last time.

Black Armoured Gloves

For the gloves, we chose to use the same as what we used in our opening sequence to the first 'Rebellion' film. They are armoured gloves which we think are one of the main things that brings the whole costume together, because without gloves, the characters may look strange and not as 'prepared' for battle.

Black Hoodie
The black hoodie will be worn by the four members of the team along with the masks. This is so they can conceal their identity when on the battlefield. However, unlike the masks, all the team will wear the same hoodie to show that they are a unit that operates as one.


The overall appearance that these costume pieces will create is one of a stealth-like soldier, or perhaps someone from the special forces. We want the audience to realise from looking at the costume, that we are not an army with an endless budget, but instead, and much like the set, we have to make do with what we have.
