When planning costumes we thought about what a teenage girl would wear based on what I normally wear and what other people that we know wear. We also thought about what would be appropriate for a girl the characters age to wear.
We also took into consideration what our target audience thought, for example the characters had to be portrayed correctly for the opening scene to be good, if it wasn't good the target audience would not want to watch the rest of the movie.
When planning what the detective would wear we looked at T.V shows with Detective characters and what they tend to wear, from that we noticed that they mainly wore suits, usually not expensive looking suits and mainly grey and brown suits rather than black.
I think that the costume we chose for the detective meets the target audience expectations because it fits with what you would expect for a detective to wear, if it didn't look like something a detective would wear then you would not think from the very beginning that the character is a detective, you would think that he's just a person in the movie and that he doesn't play that big of a part in the movie, that he isn't important at all.
