Props & Costumes
Props
 Mug: Opens the film to show what is perceived to be a normal day: this is
why the character sees the figure.
 Mirror: Common prop used within the conventions of psychological
thrillers; used to show the reflection of a characters inner self, and can also
portray the dark side to some characters.
 Computer: This important prop shows messages from an anonymous
person, which fits in with him being an office worker.
 Train: Builds up suspense as it gradually reveals through the film how his
wife died.
 Phone: A common prop as most people have one, therefore people can
relate to the film, but also it is the key to why his wife got killed.
 Hospital bed: This can relate to our chosen genre as it is a popular location
for psychological thriller films. It also shows the idea that he is mentally
unstable as he keeps seeing his dead wife, therefore creates an eerie tone.
Costumes
 Tie: To portray a sense of realism as he is wearing everyday clothes for his job.
 Ava will be wearing normal, everyday clothes in the film, however will have blood
on them to show this is what she was wearing when she died.
 Doctors: Will be wearing smart clothes, with a white cloak to show our psychiatric
aspect.
