Costumes in this film are subtle but very important. The teenager wears simple, slightly worn clothing, loose shirts, sweatpants, and sneakers. These choices reflect their vulnerability and normalcy, keeping the focus on their emotional state rather than flashy clothing. I also thought about how the clothing moves with the character. For example, the loose sleeves and hoodie can slip or get in the way during frantic packing, emphasizing their nervous energy and tension.

I also considered how the costume works with lighting and camera angles. Darker fabrics blend into the dim bedroom, letting the shadows and low light create a moody feeling. At the same time, small details like slightly rolled sleeves or the way the hoodie folds help the audience notice the character’s movements during close-ups. Costume planning this carefully makes the character feel real and helps their emotional journey read clearly on screen.
