Costumes and props

1. Costumes and props
Costumes:
 Katie Preece
Katie will be wearing her gym/ running clothes as she is out on a jog. She will be
wearing expensive fashionable trainers to reinforce her social class and her
comfortable life. This creates verisimilitude as it is the correct clothing for our
chosen environment- the woods. Moreover, in the changing room scene Katie will be
wearing her PE kit which will enforce her young, immature attitude. Also it
emphasizes her innocence and how susceptible she is in the situation.
 Jake Griffith
Jake will be wearing dark clothes to emphasize his dark side. The colour black
connotes power, evil and mystery. The dark colour will hide his identity to make him
seem more suspicious and make Katie seem more vulnerable. As if he just a normal
teenage boy the audience will fall into the trap of thinking he is just a generic
teenager. However his dark clothes will make it easier for him to camouflage and
hide in the dark areas of the woods.

2. Props:
 Katie Preece
As Katie is out on a run she will be holding a sports water bottle to emphasize that
she is focused on appearance. Likewise she will have a watch on her wrist to tell her
how long and how many miles she has been running for, to show she is dedicated to
make her body appealing to others. When in the changing room scene Katie will
have a water bottle to portray how blind she is to the sinister predator as she is only
focussing on her exercise. It also implies how she is so self-centred that she is
unaware of the world around her and how other people are feeling, thus she is
completely oblivious to the world around her. Also Katie will come into direct
contact with her necklace which the villain steals in attempt to get revenge.
 Jake Griffith
In the changing room scene Jake will be wearing a balaclava style mask to hide his
identity. This is because he is doing a sinister thing and does not want to risk his
identity being revealed. Also when in the woods Jake will have a camera so he can
get pictures of Katie- this emphasizes his stalker ways.
