The document provides costume and prop ideas for a film production. The main character will wear simple, dull black clothes and carry a cardboard box to suggest she is packing up her life now that her boyfriend is gone. An old television and rotting food will be used to depict the decay of the character's life. A police light will be added to a house to indicate the police are on their way. A flare may be used if the character falls in water to show she is seeking help.

PROP IDEAS

2. COSTUME AND PROP IDEAS
Simple, baggy clothes to focus on the
character and not what they are
wearing, dull monotone colours which give
the impression and illusion of
boring, simple and bland focus on the
actor.
My actor will be wearing black
trousers also to pull focus away from
her clothing and keep it
simple, plain, and boring. This will
show she has no interest in the
clothes she is wearing, more on the
actions she is taking as her life has
become worthless.
My character will be carrying a
cardboard box showing that she
is packing up all of her life and
her boyfriend is now gone

3. COSTUME AND PROP IDEAS
I will be using an old television which is
already in one of my locations. This will
give an authentic creepy look, and also
show nostalgia.
I will be using a blue
and red police light to
reflect into the house
so that is looks like the
police are on their way.
This will give the
audience the signifier
they need to know
what is going on in the
scene.
Rotting food will be used to show the
decay of the girl, and how her life is not
worth living now her boyfriend is gone…
However did she kill him herself?

4. COSTUME AND PROP IDEAS
I am thinking about using a flare when the actor falls
into the water so that it is like she is looking for help
but has lost her way, and doesn’t know what to do or
where to go.
One of my locations may be an indoor swimming pool
so I may have to think about taking down some of the
props that are already up, eg flags
