COSTUME

Adam
Begins in underwear. He later changes into more formal clothing and a parka in one scene and a maroon jacket in another.

Caitlin (Originally Jess)
Typical femme-fatale clothing:dark black dress, bright red lipstick, similar to that of Uma Thurman in Pulp Fictio. The fact that her clothing matches that of Adam rather than Louis, establishes them as the 'original couple'; this makes the chances of her and Louis being conspirators seem less likely, and therefore her kidnapping more believable. 

In order to meet filming deadlines, we needed somebody who would be available most weekends. For this reasons, we had to have a change of cast for the part of the kidnapped woman. Caitlin
 will be dressed in a similar way to Jess.

Louis 
Dark clothing, including a hoodie to hide his identity. This also creates a binary opposition between him and the protagonist, as one is formally dressed and the other isn't and is also likely to make the audience side with the protagonist due to the 'hoodie' stereotype.
