Evaluation 1 - Costumes and Props

PROPS

The props that we used were a syringe and a thick plastic carrier bag. The main reason we used these were because a syringe is a normal everyday item you use when your ill and have to take medication with so everyone is aware what it is, but people are also aware that it can be used in wrong circumstances (i.e. Drug use or a poison to be used inside it) in a horror movie when the audience recognise that its a syringe they would possible think of these circumstance and come to conclusion what the situation was and then as it goes on they know the storyline more and more by the scene.

COSTUMES

The reason behind Ellie's costume is because she finds it very comfy and easy to do filming in. She chose clothes that were in fashion right now and that quite a lot of people are wearing. Black leggings, Nike Roche's, Bomber Jacket and a Nike jumper is very fashionable right now and everyone fits in with each other. During filming she didn't have any problems with her costume and found it easiest to wear.

This is Emma's costume, the reason behind it was that Emma was kidnapped a few das before in the middle of the night and was still missing. Ellie and Kiera walk past Emma when she was laying dead on the floor. A onsie for this situation was a very good idea; Emma is covered from head to toe and doesn't get dirty and as she went missing in the middle of the night it makes more sense for her to be wearing a pyjamas.

This is Jai's costume, the reason behind this is because he is the antagonist. We asked Jai to wear all black so when it came to filming he was dark and we hoped it would work so that we could only see his face. He wore all black clothing - black jeans, black hoody with a black t-shirt on underneath and black shoes. All of these items are comfy to wear and Jai chose them specifically.

The reasons behind my costume are - it was all really comfy to wear around Tadworth whilst filming and walking around to find the perfect part of the location to film in, its fashionable and everyone is wearing clothes similar to it and I had to wear casual clothing as if I dressed up in smart clothing they would find it suspicious and it would look weird.
