Costumes and Props

Costumes for Characters

Brooke Morgan.

On the evening of Brooke Morgan’s death, she was preparing for a night out. This means that Brooke’s costume consists of bright colored heels, a short dress with a handbag. She is also wearing a distinctive silver, spikey braclet in which is a main clue in solving her murder. This costume represents Brooke’s character well as she is quite an outgoing young girl, and at times is not sensible.


Jamal.

Jamal is the character that is walking his dog through his local park like most mornings when he comes across his bead friend, Brooke’s dead body. He is wearing tracksuit bottoms, a jumper and trainers to portray that he has just got out of bed and has not made an effort. This costume shows Jamal’s personality as it shows a typical teenage man well.

Props

-Dog: this will show the audience that Jamal is in the park as he is taking his dog for a walk.


-Fake Blood: this will be used on Brooke’s body to emphasise that she is dead, as well as on the gate at the front of the park to show that she has been running and tried to escape from somewhere.



-Lipstick: Jamal steps on the lipstick that belongs to Brooke, this is where he realizes that she is dead.



-Braclet: the braclet will be on Brooke’s wrist, which is later a clue to her murder.

-Water for leaf: one of the shots we have included in our opening sequence is a close up of rain dripping from a leaf, we will need to bring a bottle of water during filming to put on the leaf incase it doesn’t rain.

-Make up: we will need to use make up on Brooke to show that she has been beaten up.

-Note: the note used in Brookes hand is also another clue to solving her murder.


Locations

We have chosen to locate our thriller opening sequence in two seperate parks. We have chosen two completely different parks such as Nonsuch Park and Gillian Park. We have chosen Nonsuch Park as it is a huge park, and each section of the park has a completely different setting. In one area there is a massive woods, which adds suspense as it is quite isolated from the rest of the park. Another area has a massively beautiful river, with dead weeds surrounding it making it appear creepy and dangerous. Overall, it is a fantastic park to use as in it's surroundings there are many different textures in the scenary. We also chose Gillian Park as it is also quite secluded, but is in contrast to Nonsuch Park. Where Nonsuch is full of nature nd woods, Gillian Park is surrounded by a lot of pathways and abandoned buildings, which would be ideal for scenes where one of our main characters Jamal is walking his dog alone. Here are some photo's of our chosen locations and the characters in them.

Here are a few clips of me and my group talking about the key props of our thriller opening sequence, and why we have decided to use them. This first video is of me (Brittany) talking about one of our definate key props which was our fake blood. We used fake blood in a numerous of our scenes. The second clip is of one our main characters in our opening sequence (Jamal) and why he suggested to our group that we used a dog as one of our key characters in our opening sequence. The last video clip is of our main character (Becca) and she discusses why we chose Nonsuch Park as our main location to film our opening sequence. I hope you enojoy....
