The document discusses costume and prop design choices for several characters in a film. For the main character Alex, white is chosen to connote cleanliness and that he takes care of himself. For a flashback scene with Lucy, Alex will wear brighter colors like green and yellow to connote happier times. Lucy will wear a white dress and light makeup to appear sweet and vulnerable. James will wear a black suit and red tie to look professional and connote danger as a news reporter.

2.  Costume1: Alex is our main character and therefore we
need most of the attention directed on him. For this we
will use colours like white because this connotes
cleanliness. This is because this character will be
groomed, so it looks like he can take care of himself.
 Costume2: This costume is for the flashback Alex
has with Lucy. For this he will be wearing casual clothing
so the scene looks relaxed. He will be wearing bright
colours like green and yellow because these will connote
happier times. These colours will also contrast what he
is wearing in present scenes.
 Costume3: In one of our scenes, Alex picks up a water proof
jack, and a hoodie. The hood will be able to connote darkness and
crime, this foreshadows what might happen.

3.  Lucy will be wearing a white patterned dress
with dolly shoes. This is because white
connotes purity. We have also decided her
makeup will be quite light, and her hair will
be tied up. This is because we want to make
her look as sweet and vulnerable as possible
as well as young looking.

4.  James will be wearing a black suit because he
needs to look smart and professional so that
people will take him seriously. He will be
wearing a red tie because red connotes
danger and in our opening sequence he is
giving bad news. He will be well groomed for
example shaven and clean because
news reporters need to be
presentable to the public.

5.  All the family members are in the opening
sequence for a short amount of time when
watching the news report. We have decided to
put them in duller colours like navy blue and
grey, because they are receiving bad news
and are upset and these colours will connote
this. Also we do not want the attention to be
directed away from Alex.

6.  Gun: We are using a gun because it connotes danger. This could
show that something bad is going to happen or that the
character will commit something. It also shows the character as
powerful.
 Wallet: The wallet is going to be shown in the opening sequence
because it shows the character as quite wealthy and he could
also show his power through this
 Writing Equipment: This will be used because it is needed for
him to write his note for his family.
 Piles of paperwork and documents: This will be on the desk in
the scene to show that the character is quite smart and obviously
has an important job. As well as this it shows that he is
organised and clean. This builds up on his character for the
audience.

7.  Family living room: We are using a family living room
in our opening sequence because it gives a sense of
security and comforts, making the place seem quite
safe like nothing bad could happen.
 Study: A study is used in the opening sequence
because it gives a sense of seriousness and makes
the character seem official. It also makes him seem
professional.
 Park: The Park is used in the flashback because it
connotes a happier place; this is because children are
around having fun. Also it is quite a sweet place for a
couple to go.
