This document discusses mood boards for props, locations, and costumes for a documentary about a crime. Several location ideas are proposed: alleyways, subways, and car parks to establish the crime atmosphere for the opening scene. Other locations include a crime scene, an interview room, a mug shot room, a car, and a house belonging to the criminal. Costume ideas are presented for men, including shirts, ties, jumpers and trousers. Footwear and blazers are also discussed. Young female adult clothing is chosen to be casual. Props discussed include a mug shot clipboard, murder weapons, a car, newspaper, camera, handcuffs, police tape, and chalk.

Our first ideas for our locations were
dark enclosed places such as:
alleyways, subways and car parks.
The reason for these choices are
because it goes well with our
category which is ‘crime’.
We hope to use one of these
locations for our opening scene of
our documentary, which will include
the mysterious crime that will occur
within our documentary.
Dark enclosed places will hopefully
give us the atmosphere that we
want to include into our
documentary.
We then came up with the idea of the location of having a crime
scene, every crime must have a ‘crime scene’. These location will
give us the real deal of a crime and will make it seem more
realistic.
We the come up with the idea of having an
interview scene throughout the documentary,
for this to happen we need a location to
produce it in. So we thought that we could
create the interview in a plain but simple
location so we have a back drop that stands out.
We chose this location of a news readers presenting room.
Our idea to put this location to use is that we are going to
have a 10 second slot where a news reader shall introduce the
crime that has happened.
We then chose the location of a
mug shot room. This is because
we want to use some sort of
location to create mug shots of
the criminals that we will include
into our documentary.
The reasoning behind the choice
of the location of a car is
because, we would like to include
some sort of shot where two
people are in a car, this will be
one of our flash backs.
The location of the house will be used as the
home of the criminal his/herself.

We have selected a shirt, tie, jumper and
trousers as this is the appropriate attire
for a father that we may interview within
our documentary. The reason for this
choice is because we liked how America’s
most wanted suspects and families chose
outfits like this to wear when being
interviewed, which is casual but suitable
for them.
The shoes we have selected for
men within the documentary are
casual but smart. We selected
these because we thought that
they were suitable for adults and
young adults to wear. Also they fit
in with the outfits we have
already selected.
Our storyline is about a crime
that is mainly based on young
adults that attend sixth form,
there for they will be wearing
smart wear so we think that
this will include blazers. We
have selected some
appropriate ones that our male
characters may choose to
wear.
The arrows are pointing at trousers and a light blue
shirt. This is what we would like our teenager to wear
this during our documentary. This is typical of a lad
who attends to sixth form. We chose this as we feel
like this would suit the storyline of our documentary.
This is our choice of young female adults
decision of casual clothing. The reason for
this is because we want to show the
difference between the adults and the
younger adults. As we will be using people
of a similar age group to be characters in our
documentary.
The footwear we have chosen are converse
and puma trainers as these are casual and
popular for the age group we specifically
focusing on.
We have selected these knee length pencil
skirt, a smart top and high heel shoes. This is
because it will differentiate what a adult
wears and what a young adult would wear.
We want to show the difference between a
student and a working parent.

4. Props-

We chose the prop of a mug
shot clip board as it is a key
prop that is used in a crime
based documentary, for
example, The Tales Of a Grim
Sleeper.
We chose the props of
murder weapons. We
decided on the basic
murder weapons of a
gun and a knife, as the
case of most murders in
documentaries are
either stabbing or
shooting incidents.
We then decided that in one of our
scenes we would like a flash back to
a car scene and for this to happen
we need a car.
We discussed an idea of the story
that our documentary being a
news headline, so a newspaper
will help us represent that.
We then came up with the idea that we would like one of our
scenes to have a flash back of the crime scene and we thought
that to make this seem realistic we could have a crime scene
investigator taking photos, meaning one of our props would
have to be a camera.
Hand cuffs and police tape is an
essential prop as it will help us created
the atmosphere of crime setting.
We had the idea of using the
chalk as a prop because we can
then create a shot that will
indicate the scene of the crime.
