Representing Character Through Costume: Isaac...
Isaac is meant to be more of a mystery in our opening, symbolising both Ariadne's lost memories and the danger that could follow her. Before we started coming up with how we would represent him, we spent some time developing his character a little more, so that we could portray him accurately.
Isaac was a lonely child just like Ariadne, and when they met, he took it upon himself to look after her. They were as close as brother and sister before Ari was taken, and for this reason, he searches for her when she disappears. As mentioned in a previous post discussing character development and personality, Isaac is rather more calm than Ari, intellectual rather than adventerous. We wanted his costume to reflect this responibility and intelligence whilst also keeping him myseterious and imposing. For this reason, we included the leather jacket as it adds that element of danger to the way he dresses. Aside from this one aspect, he dresses mostly casual to reflect his laid back personality.
We chose to dress him in similar colours to our main character to establish an immeadiate connection between the two, but we made many of the blue hues that he wears a little darker and in some cases bolder to represent thathe has a better sense of who he is - he is not lost. This is also reflected in the dark jeans and jacket which evoke a shady persona that is meant to create enigma with the audience.
