Props, Costume, Location, Script & Sound

In today’s lesson we decided to plan what props we are going to use, what costumes each character is going to wear and why (what the costume represents and how it reflects the character’s personality) as well as planning our location, script, shooting schedule and character description for our opening description.

Props & Costumes

Props

Car – We will be using this prop for the sound effect of a car boot slamming and as a car itself.

Knives – We are using this prop to represent one of the pieces of weaponry that the killer is planning on using

Photographs – We will be using many photographs to show how many people the killer has killed.

Posters – We are using posters to show the people that have gone missing.

Costumes

Donna (Jessica) – Will be wearing light colors to represent her innocence.

Alisha & Sophie – Will be wearing a red top to represent death

Shehabur – Will be wearing black to represent an evil and sinister demeanor.

Location

Morden Park – We will be using this location when someone driving his or her car sees the victim and when she is running away from her potential killer.

PDH/DH3 – This location will be used when the killer is laying out and planning what weaponry to use to carry out the killing of the protagonist.

Photography Dark Room – This location will be used to show the killer developing a photograph of the victim (protagonist) that he is potentially going to kill.

Script

Although there is going to be no dialogue in our opening sequence we felt it was necessary to devise a script to show what sound effects and music we will be using.

Footsteps – To represent the killer following the victim in the park

Heavy Breathing – To represent the victim’s feelings of being frightened and scared.

Car Boot Slam – To represent the killer slamming down the boot of the car but the audience not knowing why he did it and what is in the boot.

Loud Scream – This will be used at the beginning of the opening sequence

Devised Piece of Music – We will be using a personally created piece of music so that it is original and has not been used before in previous thriller films.
