6. Prop, Costume and Location Ideas


Ideas for Props:

- A mobile phone will be needed (because the main character is looking for it at the beggining).
- A set of keys will be needed for when he locks up his house.
- Day to day utensils will be needed for the background of the shot in his house. This will include objects like: A sofa, a coffee table, a kitchen, etc.
- Some paperwork would add to the mystery of what the character is rummaging through.
- Weapons will be needed for when the character is having flashbacks. These will be things like: A knife, some fake blood, perhaps a gun, some water (as he previously drowned someone) etc.






Ideas for Costumes:

- The main character should be wearing shaped clothing (which is effective for silhouettes). The shaped clothing should include, a large, dark coloured coat, trousers and boots. It should be a cold day outside so before he puts a coat on, he should be wearing a t-shirt, so he isn't completely smart, but not completely casual either.
- The female characters that stare at this man along the road should also be wearing coats, (perhaps with school uniform underneath, dependant on age choice). They should also be wearing casual shoes.
- The victims that we see in the flashbacks should be dressed as if it is Summer, even though it is Winter, this makes them seen stereotypically vulnerable.

Ideas for Locations:

- We should be introduced into the title sequence with the main character in the living room of his house (or an area he feels comfortable in).
- We should leave the house and be on a main road where he immediately feels vulnerable and scared of his surroundings, this is where the people stare at him.
- The flashbacks should be filmed in locations with neutral colour. This may be a place such as a classroom at school, or in a park where it is isolated.
- We would also like to include part of our filming in a graveyard. Perhaps the main character has recently lost a close friend or relative?
