Costume Example

I think that Bilbo Baggins’ costumes from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (dir. Peter Jackson, 2012) are incredible, as they are so detailed and clearly reflect Bilbo’s personality and the difficulties that he faces while travelling to face Smaug. For example, this shot shows the comfortable lifestyle that Bilbo is used to living. This contrasts to the clothes he’s wearing at the end of the movie, which are dirty and torn. As the movie goes on his costume become more ruined, it makes it seem more genuine for the audience, as it shows how he has been travelling on the road the entire time, without chance to stop and properly get cleaned.
