superman costume



In the film super man the hero has two identities. One as Clark Kent and the other as the hero superman. We see these identities as two different charcters because of how they are reprisented even though they are both played by the same actor. When the actor is playing the role of Clark Kent he looks very neat,simple and well normal with the exceptions of his geeky personality and iconic glasses. He is wearing a white shirt with a beige sleeveless jumper on. These are very dull colours and doesnt make him as a person or character noticeable. The white could impply his pure side as he is a hero. The brown is a neutral colour maybe suggesting he is down to earth and wants to get on well with the people in a peaceful enviroment.The glasses try to suggest he does has imperfections as a normal person and this also makes him seem more normal. They look like the stereotypical nerd glasses suggesting he has a timid geeky personaltiy as Clark Kent. On the image to the left he has his hair parting on the left side and his hair is done all neat with a slight fringe. Nothing abnormal and again looking fairly normal. So all together as Clark Kent he is reprisented as a normal average human with a slightly geeky appearence. Now as super man we see him looking bolder,stronger and more different so he stands out as a hero. First of all he has his hair parting on the right side showing an immediate change in personality and character as this is a different hairstyle. He also has a bit of a curl from his hair showing a bit of quirkyness and even self confidence as he is taking more pride in his appearence. This singled out curl could even reprisent how he is different from the rest as the curl could represent him being away from everyone else. We also see a glimpse of his red cape and blue costume. The colour red connotes to danger and warnings yet blue connotes to peace and tranquility and these two together suggest his feelings as a character. He doesnt wear his glasses anymore suggesting some sort of perfection as we cant really see anything wrong with him suggesting his normality. His eyes actually look more highlighted and bold ans this draws veiwers in to make eye contact with him. As clark Kent the lighting is quite low key in comparison to supermans image this again suggests difference in personality as superman appears to be more bold. The high key lighting also highlights his face and makes it clear he has no imperfections.
