Our detective will cast the appearance of a clean, neat man who has recently been neglecting his appearance. For example, he wears his top two shirt buttons undone and has his tie loose. His trousers are creased and shoes dirty. All of this will connote the fact that the man is under stress, and doesn't have time to properly care for his appearance. The costume is similar to Brad Pitt's character in Se7en - a young detective whose appearance is unkempt.
White shirt - representing good/justice.
Black Trousers - darker side of personality. (Two sides shown by split between Trousers/Shirt)
Skinny Black Tie - suggests formal business.
Black/Brown shoes - suggests smart dressing.

The victim will not be wearing any particular items of clothing - his apparel will be simple. This appearance of normality will cause the viewer to ask questions of why he is attacked - is he as normal as he seems?
- Shirt/Jacket.
- Jeans.
- Trainers.
Abductor/Attacker
All clothing worn by the attacker is dark to connote his lack of morality. A balaclava will cover his face to represent the hidden side of his personality - the murderer within. A similar technique is used in the Dexter opening sequence, where his face is never fully shown whilst murder related shots are being shown.
- Black shirt. (Formal?)
- Black jeans.
- Black shoes with white soles - this connotes that the killer is not completely consumed by evil.
- Balaclava.
