Analysing costumes: Otis from Devils Rejects

Otis - Devils Rejects

In this particular photo from "The Devils Rejects" you can see that he is wearing a vest top which could suggest that he is trying to show off his masculinity and tis could emphasise his dominance and power as he has large muscles. The vest top is grey and this is more of a darker colour, which could symbolise that he has a darker side to him, and considering he is holding guns in the air this enforces tha he is more of a violent and aggressive person. The setting is of a high key lighting which would normally suggest that the scene is more calm and has a happier atmosphere, but the character looks quite sinister so this is unique twist to the character and the setting.

His t shirt is bloodstained which could suggest that he has recently been in some kind of battle or fight against his opponent. He looks like quite a violent character and the colour of blood can suggest that he has an evil side to him as red normally represents an danger or someone to be aware of.

The holsters on his belt suggest that he normally carries a gun around with him, which could suggest that is always alert of his surroundings as he could be a character who is wanted by a group of opponents and he is trying to fight them off in order to survive.
