Here is a picture of a shot from the film Shutter Island. The characters are all wearing similar clothing, they all look smart and look like what is classed as an average person. This makes the audience feel like they are the same and can relate to the characters more, therefore, they will feel more connected with the film and will make it feel more real.
The characters hair here is well groomed and they all look presentable, and their make-up doesn't include and bruising or injuries.
The the main characters wife is wearing a cheery summery dress which creates sympathy for the character as she looks innocent and happy. This creates a sense of false hope, as later on in the film the audience find out that the woman is in fact mentally ill and ends up killing her children.
Here the other characters are wearing all white which could be associated with hospitals as they are usually all white and clean, suggesting that these characters are ill in some way. These characters are clearly separated from what are seen as the normal characters.
