Amanda, the main female character, will wear a white blouse and black trousers to represent her job in an office. This dark color scheme could symbolize a funeral. She will use everyday props like a toothbrush but also a knife, which represents a key plot point and suggests she feels pressure. Simon, the male lead, will also dress in office attire as they both work. He will wear a black suit and blue shirt, giving him a serious appearance but distinguishing him from funeral colors. His briefcase and phone show his professional and wealthy lifestyle. The masked man, the villain, dresses entirely in plain black with a white mask to hide his identity and prevent an emotional connection. His low-

Costumes and Props
Amanda (Main Character) –
Costumes
Amanda will be dressed throughoutthe whole shortfilm in stereotypical office
work attire. This will mean that Amanda is always dressed formally which will
help to set the scene and providethe setting with a clear time of day giving the
audience a better understanding of what is happening in the film and the
actors age. The work attire will involve a white blouse with black trousers and
heels. I have asked my actor to wear this as it will representthe fact that my
actor is either going to or has justcome from work dueto the formaldress
code. I will ask my actor to providetheir own clothing that matches the
description. The black and white clothing will give a negative connotation as
her clothing will represent the usual funeralattire which will representwhat
might happen later on in the film.
Props
Amanda will be using every day appliance such as toothbrush, cooking/eating
equipment, phone and a car so it gives the film a more believable, non-fictional
feel to the film. Another prop Amanda will be using is a knife, this is considered
a main prop as it provides a key moment as it is the plot twist. This prop gives
connotations that the actor is feeling under pressure or is an evil character in
the film.
Simon (Main Character) –
Costumes
Simon will be dressed as well throughoutthe whole film in stereotypical male
office work attire. This is because this will help offer a view of the lifestyle
within Amanda and Simon’s household as it represents the fact both of them

have office jobs. Thefact they areboth dressed for work may help give a
reason to the audience why they are being targeted by the masked man as
they clearly have a lot of money due to their clothes and house value. Simon
will be wearing a black suit with a blue shirt and smart black shoes. This once
again will give negative connotations to the audience as it is dark clothing
helping to providethe tense feeling within the film. However it may also give
connotations that Simon isn’t the target for the mask man as he isn’t dressed
in funeral attire due to the shirtbeing blue instead of white. I will be asking
Simon to providethe clothing himself.
Props
Simon will be using props which are related to his work life for example, a
briefcasewhich will have connotations of Simon’s formalnature. Also items
such as an expensive phone which will help to show his expensive lifestyle
taste and his official nature of the job.
Masked Man (Main character) –
Costumes
The masked man will be dressed in full black with a white mask covering his
face. The character will be in the same clothes throughoutthe whole film
which may give connotations that they aren’tvery wealthy as they don’t own
very nice clothes. As the clothing will all be black this will reducethe chance
the audience can gain any emotional feeling towards the masked man as his
identity is never revealed. The fact that the audience aren’table to build an
emotional relationship with the masked man will represent the fact that they
are the villain within the character. Again the black coloured clothing with the
white masks may give the audience connotations that the actor is prepared for
a funeral which will represent the fact that there may be death within the film.

3. BradleyVenn-Griffiths
I will ask the actor to supply the plain black clothing although I will buy the
mask for the man so I can find one that represent the villain’s personality.
Props
This actor will need a car as a prop as they will have to be following the main
character in one of the scenes, the car won’tbe very expensivewhich will
show that they aren’t a very high earner.
