The document discusses costumes and props for a student horror film about a possessed doll. It describes Maddie's costume as an old-fashioned nightgown to make her character seem long-possessed. Makeup will be used to make Maddie look doll-like, with red cheeks, a scar, prominent lips, and dark eyes to appear scary. An old-fashioned doll prop will be used to hint at the film's theme without revealing the plot. The document also mentions the ordinary costume for Sophie's character is intended to make her seem realistic and contrast with Maddie's aged look.

1. Costume & Props

2. This is Maddie’s costume. As she is playing
a possessed doll we wanted it to look
realistic so we didn’t want her in her
everyday clothes. We chose to make her
look old fashioned so her costume was a
standard white nightie that she already
had at home. This will make it look as
though she has been possessed for a long
time adding to the scare factor. Also it
made her look childlike which we found
from our primary target audience
questionnaire that they felt that children
are often the sort of characters that make
a horror film more scary.

3. This is the makeup we will use to
make Maddie look more doll like. We
will use the red to make her cheeks
look rosy and red. The black to add a
scar to her neck; this connotes she is
violent s fits well with the horror
genre.
Maddie will also bring in her own
make up bag from home as we will
use the red lipstick to make her lips
look more prominent and stand out
and use her eyeliner to darken her
eyes; this will make her look more
scary and menacing. This will also
give the impression of bags under
her eyes so reinforces that she
doesn’t sleep making it more clear
that she is not a normal person and
is possessed.

4. This is the doll we will use for our
trailer. We wanted to keep the
theme of dolls running through the
film, Also the theme of it being
quite old fashioned. This will be
the baby that Maddie's character
has turned into a doll. This is
highlighting a scary attribute to the
film but doesn’t actually tell you
what has happened to the doll or
who the doll is. This keeps the
audience in suspense and leaves
questions unanswered making
them want to go to the cinema
and watch the film.

5. This is what my character
(Sophie) will be wearing. We
wanted to make it clear that
she is an ordinary character;
this will create more realism.
This is because it will look like
an everyday situation that the
audience could be in. It will
also create contrast between
the costume of Maddie's
character as this character is
dressed with more modern
fashion so will highlight the
age of Maddie's character
