In the James Bond film his costume helps him to portray his true identity massively as he is considered as a very masculine and upper middle class character. Although, he is dressed in a very smart and casual suit it also gives off the effect that he is very powerful and controlling of situations - someone who seems to be very intimidating.
Jason Bourne conveys the stereotypical view of an 'alpha-male'. From his costume we can tell that he is a very determined character and enjoys to get things done very quickly. His outfit portrays a very casual look however the use of the gun in his hand creates the idea that he obviously is not what you would expect of a stereotypical male and he is the total opposite.
In the film 'Spy' the main character Melissa McCarthy is represented as a very normal character wearing just a blouse, t-shirt and a dress. However, the other characters juxtapose the idea that this is a normal film as they are all seen wearing suits. This portrays the idea that they are very important and intelligent. You can work out many things from someones outfit within a film. For example, if someone is wearing very casual clothing we deem them to be rather dumb or unintelligent. However if someone is wearing a smart suit or fashionable items we create the image that they are smart and popular as the create the view of being part of the upper class.
