The document provides costume and prop recommendations for characters Ian and Molly in an upcoming film. For Ian, a 25 year old army soldier, the summary recommends purchasing an army uniform from an army surplus store for scenes where Ian is on tour or returns from deployment. For scenes where Ian goes to the pub or relaxes at home, more casual clothing is suggested that shows off his tattoos and muscles. For Molly, a 21 year old who works at home, revealing white clothing and shoes are initially recommended to show she is happy with Ian. However, after he begins abusing her, darker, more covered clothing is suggested to show her loss of confidence and unhappiness. A photo frame of Ian and Molly and

Ian is 25 year old man who is an army solider. In a couple scenes he will be wearing his army uniform for
when he goes off on tour and then when he comes back. The uniform shown above is the current standard
uniform the army wear. I will look to buy this in a second hand army surplus store nearby. Furthermore, the
photo in the top right and bottom left will be the costume he will wear when he goes out to the pub. I have
chosen this as it is casual and modern and will suit the style and generation that Ian is in. I will get this from
either Primark or from a charity shop. The colours grey and dark blue have connotations to a depressed
mind-set and someone that on the outside is saying everything is from but in reality it is not. This is shown
by Ian and Molly relationship. The bottom right clothing is something Ian will wear around the house. The
clothing in my opinion looks quite assertive and dominant as it will show off Ian’s Tattoo’s and big muscles
showing he has command over Molly. It is also quite modern and stylish as well. He could also wear a dark
red shirt which will have angry and aggressive connotations which is also shown in their relationship when
Ian physically abuse’s her. I will also need a Bergen for Ian for when he goes and comes back from
deployment. I have one at home so they is no need to go out and buy one. Furthermore, when Ian has his
flashback he will pull out a bloody t-shirt. I will use an old shirt and then add some fake blood to do this.
This will trigger his flashback. Finally, in the final scene, Ian will walk into the house looking for Molly with a
bottle of wine and flowers. When he finds her dead body he then drops the wine and flower and the film
ends as it hits the ground and break.

Molly
Molly is 21 years old who works at home. Firstly, in the top left is the clothing that Molly will wear at the
beginning of the film. This is because it is quite revealing and she would be happy and comfortable
around Ian so would work well. The white shoes shows that she is happy and like where she is in life at
the moment as that what the colour white connotes. In the top left and the bottom right is what Molly
would wear after he comes back and abuses her as the bottom one she is trying to cover herself up and
hid her insecurities away from Ian. She is no longer happy to open up to him so this would show that well.
The top photo is something that Molly has almost been forced to wear by Ian as it is not stylish but
something that Ian can control and make her feel uncomfortable around others. The colour blue can also
have connotations to dark eerie places and places you would not want to be which would show her
situation well. Finally the bottom left photo shows the clothing she will wear when she goes to bed in the
bedroom scene. She is trying to cover herself up and not be revealing towards Ian as she is not happy to
be around him anymore. She could wear this in the colour black as it shows she is depressed and not
conformable anymore. Molly will also need to use a photo frame with her and Ian in it. She then will
throw it across the room and break this. She will also need a bottle of bleach near the end of the filmas
this is how she is going to kill herself at the end.
