Costume Research

In order to portray the character well, we felt we needed to acquire a mask similar to that which he wears in the comics, animated movies and games he's appeared in. None of us in our group believed that we would be able to create one to a high standard so we browsed the web to try to find one as close to the original as possible and at not too steep of a price. Through our research we narrowed it down to these 2 masks:

           

Eventually we made the decision to purchase the one on the left as we felt that the white eye details help separate the Red Hood from Jason Todd as his eyes wouldn't be visible, helping separate the character from his alias. We also chose to step away from the brown leather jacket that the character wears in the comics and replace it with this jacket. This was because we thought it was more aesthetically pleasing when paired with the mask whilst the hood was up and also it helped make a contrast between the dark colour of the jacket and the red logo on the t-shirt.
