Analyze Costumes

What Does a Costume Tell You?

Remember, a costume tells a story about a character. Costumes can describe a character's age, job, economic background, time period, environment, etc.

For example, let's look at the picture below and describe this character:

Ace Ventura (1994)

Many aspects of this costume may lead you to believe that this character is outgoing, loud, and doesn't mind receiving attention. For example, his colorful and flowery shirt paired with the bright red pants and his high, swoop-backed hair support that idea. The costume may also be designed to represent the current day since the clothes don't seem to be from a past time. What else does his costume tell you?

2. Analyze the costume(s) and answer the questions below about the character and story.

2. Based on the costumes, what kind of story do you think is being told?
