Mise-en-scene

costume:
One costume we can use is the stereotypical 'gangster look' The character who attacks Lewis can be wearing the stereotypical tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie to keep his identity a secret. Wearing these clothes also implies that he is a gangster and out to cause trouble. This will fit the genre of our film and can be used to show the film as a crime film as people often associate hoodies with youths and causing crime.
  This gives us the stereotypical image of a 'gangster'  giving the audience a fear as the character cannot be seen because of there hood. Hoodies are often associated with thugs and yobs and so when we see people wearing them we are naturally cautious.  Fear of hoodies, The Guardian



The character Lewis can be wearing usual everyday clothes as not to draw attention to himself. No one would suspect someone dealing drugs in casual clothes, they would expect the stereotypical hoodie. Wearing these normal clothes could give the effect of an ordinary man going about his business, and is then brutally attacked. It is later discovered that is not the case when  we see the bag is filled with class A drugs.  





DCI Daniel Bloor is a character of high status, to represent this he will be wearing formal clothing such as a suit. This will show him as an authority figure in the film. People often associate suits with business men and formal police officers.  The character will look like a young, smart professional getting into the occupation from a young age.
