Mise en scene - (costume) suits

For our chase scene, my group and I drew inspiration of the suits used in the Men in Black trilogy. The suits here present a sense of power, status and inconspicuosness. This is due to that fact that black suits are pretty indistinct and quite low visibility. So people who wear them to some extent lose a sense of their individuality. We decided that this is exactly what we wanted to achieve with the two men in the chase scene, that they have no importance as in a way thousands of people can fill the same duty, they are simply hired to do the deeds. We purposely did not use ties as it gives the men a sense of informality (unlike in Men in Black) and it detracts from the suits 'official status'.
