Props and Costume

Before we begin to film we need to take into account any props and costume that are going to be needed to ensure that the footage is as effective as possible. We have decided that all characters will need to be dressed in dark clothing to portray the emotions of the characters. For example, the girlfriend and boyfriend will need to be dressed in black, grey and white to show that the way that they are feeling is quite dull, oppressive and negative. If all characters are dressed in bright and colourful colours then it will clash with the actions in each scene. Therefore we have decided that as I am playing the girl I should focus on wearing black bottoms, a white top and a black jacket and Josh playing the boy should wear dark jeans and a dark jumper. However in the scene when the girl kills the boy I should wear my black jumper with a pink heart across the chest as this is symbolic of love and the situation the characters are placed in.

Although we do not have a wide variety of props in our teaser trailer we feel that the filming will still be effective as the cinematography and action in the scene allows suspense and anticipation to be created. We opted to use this method when filming as we felt that with the overuse of props our trailer may become unrealistic and people may not be interested in watching the film.
