costumes and props used for filming teaser trailer of 'The Private Eye'

1. Costumes & Props

2. Rachel’s Character:
• Light Blue long-sleeved top
• Blue denim ripped jeans
• White trainers
• Hair tied up in a casual ponytail
The light colour of this costume was chosen
because it helped for her character to stand
out on camera as she was often seen either
in front of a black background, or in a
neutral coloured living area. Her costume is
also very casual as she was abducted in a
natural setting so this costume helped to
show that the kidnap happened on an
ordinary day in her life. We chose to have
her hair in a ponytail as it kept her hair off of
her face so that the audience could really
identify with who she was.

3. Daniel’s Character• Red Jumper
• Denim Jeans
• Neutral coloured shoes
Wearing a bright coloured jumper helped Daniel’s character
stand out against a neutral background on camera. This
costume is also very casual showing the audience that
Daniel was going by his everyday life when his sister was
kidnapped,
• White Shirt
• Black Tie
• Denim Jeans
• Smart black shoes
This costume is contrasting to his previous costume as it
shows him as a more formal, representable character. It is
part of his job to solve cases such as his sisters kidnap, so a
more formal costume is appropriate for him interacting
with colleagues to help find his sister

4. As you can see, we used a variety
of props whilst filming our teaser
trailer. Some of these were used
in mis en scene to make the living
room a more believable setting
(e.g. photo frames) whilst others
were used as characterisation for
the kidnapper, reinforcing the
danger that he inflicts (e.g. mask,
gun)
