Costumes by Characters
Eve: Eve is the leading female character in Infinity. The story is told from her point of view, showing
her life in the prison like home for the illegal. Her transition from being in hiding to being part of
the system is shown through her clothes.
Snatchers: The role of the snatchers is to find any illegal children that are hiding from the system.
They track them down and then take them to the home for the illegal.
Younger Eve wears a dirty pink
top, blue jeans and white trainers,
typical clothing of a young girl. It is
slightly muddy to show that she is
in hiding and suggests that the
clothes are well worn and old. The
prop of the bear is used to
reinforce the idea of a childhood.
This costume is different from the
older Eve who is wearing a non
gender specific uniform which is
the same as all the other children.
This shows how she has changed
from an individual to a unit.
Dark clothes are classic to symbolise
a bad character but I wanted the
clothes to be informal and the
snatchers to be young. This hinted
at the idea of them being illegal
children that have been given this
job when they turn a certain age.
The use of the mobile phone shows
how they are tracking and adds afuturistic element to the looks.

Felicity Fern: Felicity is the owner of Felicity Ferns Home for the Illegal which is the home that the
main character Eve ends up at. She is strict, emotionless and unforgiving.
Adam: Although only a glimpse is caught of the character, if the film were to develop the audience
would find out that her has come to the home for the illegal to save Eve, our main character.
Felicity Fern is dressed sharply, with
elements such as the shirt and plaid
skirt reflecting that of a headmistress or
matron. It shows authority, as she is in
charge of the establishment.
The shirt in the bottom photo has
elaborate detailing on the collar and all
her clothes are fitted and look chosen
by her. The thick red belt in the top
photo shows that she is fashion
conscious and not old fashioned, as do
her tattoo on her ankle and the
piercings in her ears. She also wears
jewellery, showing her wealth.
The use of a tattoo and piercings show
that she is an individual, unlike the
children in her care.
The character wears tracksuit bottoms,
a red t-shirt and a warm white jacket.
The colours and change in clothing
style shows that he isnt a child in the
system and is still free.
Much like younger Eve the clothes
dont look new or fashionable, they
are more practical. But they show that
he isnt running away from the
institution as he isnt wearing a
uniform.
The use of white also symbolises he is
a good character, the opposite of the
snatchers who wear black.

Children: The children are illegal as they were not meant to have been born. They are housed like
prisoners and forced to do mundane tasks and acts as slaves to make up for being born in the first
place.
The children in the Home for the
Illegal where drab, plain and cheap
looking clothing. This is to reflect
that of a prison, where everyone is
made to wear the same uniform. I
also made sure that the t-shirts
brought were all the same size. The
older children and the younger
children all wear the same size t-
shirt to give the idea of a one size
fits all system going on. It shows the
lack of care for them.
The uniform takes away their
individuality. They are one faceless
unit, not different people. This is
because, as illegal children, they are
not entitled to the same rights or
care as the illegals.
Although the uniform is dark, it
doesnt symbolise evil. Instead is
gives the impression of a poor, cold,
half-starved environment that the
children live in.
