Clothing is a vital part to the mise-en-scene of our film. It is paramount to the audience having the most personal identity with the film, with the wrong clothing a film just does not make sence and will make the viewer watching agitated.
FATHER: The 'Casual look' that we have given the father puts him in the comfort zone that is his own home. This signifies to the audience that he is in relative comfort. This provides a red herring for the audience, which is likely to interpret this character as an innocent, who is brutally attacked. The disequilibrium comes later, when the audience realise that this normal acting man has become a murderer.
THIEF: Trying to hide as much as he can, long jeans to be allusive and a hood up signifies that we cannot see what this man is doing or who he is. This immediatly encourages the audience to decode his actions as being those of a villain.
DAUGHTER: Wearing matching pyjamas to show her innocence in the situation, perhaps even ignorance to what is going on. Not only this but it is what distinguishes her from being the man's husband to being the mans daughter as it connotes a level of young age.
