3. Costumes and Props Costumes were a very significant element for our film. Firstly, because Alicia played the part of the past girl and Isabel the present girl it was important to make it evident to the audience the past and the present. There had to be a stark difference in costume to represent the different time periods; Props and mise-en-scene were old looking. A blue shirt dress as this was common in the 20 th century. We used sepia effect on all of the past girl’s shots and also dressed her in grey bland tones, representing both her depression and the depression of the time; around 1940s.
4. Hollister top suggesting present day. The girls were of a similar age as our target market, so the costume of the present girl had to be ‘on trend’ attracting the audience; allowing them to relate to the character. http://www. youtube .com/watch?v= Lh _ JEbgblPI

9. How the genre of ‘horror’ is constructed We feel that this shot of Issie (who is the present character) leaving the attic, clearly demonstrates the horror genre. All of the technical elements such as Mise En Scene, camera work and lighting work well together to deliver this scary and eerie atmosphere. The location is dark and gloomy, with dull colours and lighting, which gives the sense of it being a cold and depressing room, and that something traumatic has perhaps happened here. The camera is positioned on the floor, with the drawing in foreground. Her face is not visible to the viewer in this shot, which we hoped would make the audience feel ‘uneasy’. We took this idea from ‘Paranormal Activity’. Issie is wearing all black, but a white top. However in this shot, you can only see her black clothing, this makes it seem as though her character is lost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TC9bKyDB5Y
