Post Apocalyptic Research: Clothing



Post Apocalyptic Clothing



The clothing worn by characters within Post-Apocalyptic films, my research has shown, depends on different aspects of the film itself.


For example, in "The Road", the Protagonist is shown to be wearing large, thick, warm clothing due to the setting and the weather that is used within the storyline. Along with this, the sort of "Scruffy Look" that the Protagonist seems to adapt would suggest to the viewer that they have had a hard time trying to survive within this post apocalyptic world that they have been cast into.

However, more action packed post apocalyptic films, such as "I Am Legend" show the protagonist as wearing more "stylish" and "casual" clothing to show the nature and the type of storyline that the film has adapted.

This research has shown me that there are numerous aspects within my own film opening that I need to think about that will depict the clothing that the characters within the storyline will be wearing.

These include:

- Setting

- Storyline

- Backstories that could be present
