The document discusses locations, costumes, and props for a film opening. The location would be Whitestone Pond at Hampstead Heath in London. Shots of the protagonist's home would include a news report, torn articles on the wall, a journal, maps with pins, weapons, gloves, and tape. For costumes, the main character's clothing in the woods scene includes muddy boots, black trousers, and a white t-shirt with messy hair. In the next scene, he wears black jeans, a black jacket, and tidier slicked back hair. Props include a tattoo to identify the character, a hammer as the main weapon, and fake blood to show he has killed someone.

1. Locations, costumes and props 4
In this presentation, I will be explaining my fourth ideas for location,
costumes and props in my film opening idea.

2. Location
The location of the film opening would be near Whitestone pond at Hampstead Heath.
I think this would be the best location to create this sequence as it offers the same iconographic setting as
most common thrillers do, being a woods like environment.
There will then establishing shots of the setting being London. These shots may be taken from locations such
as Primrose hill.
The scenes after this will be shots of objects at the protagonist’s home. These objects include: a news report,
torn news articles on the wall of the killer represented in a trophy like fashion, the characters journal/diary,
maps on the wall with pins in locations, possibly weapons, surgical gloves and tape.

3. Costumes
Main character (First scene)
The main character will be presented with a sense of individual style.
Clothing: In the opening the character will be seen in muddy boots to give a realistic sense
as he will be in the woods. He will also be wearing black trousers with braces hanging
down the back of his legs. He would also be wearing a plain white t-shirt.
Hairstyles: His hairstyle would be presented in a messy way to show the madness of the
character.

4. Main character (Second scene)
Clothing: For the next scene, the character will be presented in black jeans and a black
baseball jacket. These colours are mostly used to give the impression of darkness in his
character. Brown or black boots will be used.
Hairstyles: His hair would be tidier and in a slicked back style, showing him in a more
stable state.
I have used these costumes and props to create a distinctive style.
The news reporter will also be portrayed in a formal dress style to show her profession.

5. Props
The character will have a tattoo on his arm to able the audience to identify
this from the dark lit character. I have also chosen to do this in an attempt
to imitate cult films that use little details on the characters that make them
popular.

6. In the opening the hammer will be used as the main weapon as it connotes a gruesome madness
and aggression which can intimidate the audience. This weapon fits better into a thriller opening
as other weapons such as an axe or blade show iconography of typical horror films.
The fake blood will be used at the beginning of the opening to show the character has killed
someone.
A news report will be filmed and used in the montage along with the credits.
Torn news articles on the wall of the killer represented in a trophy like fashion, the characters
journal/diary, maps on the wall with pins in locations, possibly weapons, surgical gloves and tape.
I have chosen these as they can represent the characters personality and what he does.
