Costumes

Costumes are very important in film because they are there to do lots of things, superheroes will often wer a really tight costume with there symbol on their chest but thats not what costumes are all about. Most of the time a costume in a film will refer to the clothing that a person wears which has to be thoroughly thought out to get the message across:

Casual clothing will give the viewer a sense that the character wearing this clothing is very normal and just laid back most of the time

Scruffy and Dirty clothing gives an impression to the viewer that they may be quite dumb and not well looked after, mostly associated with comedy films and disgusting personalities.

Neat clothing can often give a very uptight feel to a character, most of these characters are not well liked because they are often very rude, but it could also present an idea of cleanliness.

Tucked in wollen sweaters, big glasses, trousers pulled up and long socks is a geeky look, film makers usually use this costume when conveying a character that is quite needy and shy ad to make people fell sorry for them. That is considering they are not rude of course.
