In the film 'Hanna' they have made the protagonist who is a female, look almost boy-ish with her clothing and make-up. They do not try to accentuate her female body parts in any way and she has either no or very natural make-up on. This almost eliminates her femininity which I think was the intention of the film maker. In contrast the protagonist in 'Salt' is slightly more sexualised, they give her rather stand out make-up and also not 100% figure hugging clothing but slightly more revealing than Hanna's clothing which mainly consists of jumpers up to the neck- combat style trousers- hoodies etc.
Salt's clothing colours consist mainly of blacks this to me as an audience member highlights the danger and mystery of the character which I really like.
For my character I intend on just merging the two different characters looks to create my own. I don't want 100% natural make-up and I don't want really over the top make-up. I am just going to elongated Nina's eyelashes with false eyelashes as mascara can clump up and not look as natural. I also am going to dress my character in dark colours but not very feminine clothing just black leggings as they allow for easy movements and also a black t-shirt or a black hoodie or a red high neck jumper- the same sort of style as seen in Hanna but slightly more modern and bright red (signifying danger.)
