Costumes and Props

In our planned thriller, we intend to have only three characters; a small boy, a dog and an unknown and unidentified silhouetted figure.

Therefore  we aim to keep our costumes fairly simple. The young boy will wear a red t-shirt and plain jeans. We chose red to warn the viewer of what's to come. Red is a colour of danger and blood, so by choosing this colour for our costume we could indicate to the viewer what is about to happen. It is a subtle warning of danger to come. To keep consistency and to show that theses characters are linked, we chose red for the dogs collar as well.

Our third characters costume will be completely black as we wish to only show him as a silhouette, covered in shadow. Therefore we wont necessarily need a costume for this character, as long as the clothes are dark and makes them unidentifiable to the viewer.

Our only prop will be a newspaper that is folded so that the front page is visible, and the same silhouette of the man is visible on the front page.

This was written initially by amazon, however we sat and discussed our ideas and made final decisions together.
