The document discusses costumes, props, and locations to be used in a documentary reenactment about the kidnapping of girls. Costumes like black tracksuits and gloves will make the kidnappers seem more sinister and scary to viewers. School uniforms on the girls will highlight their vulnerability. Props like folders and a fake weapon add realism, while a getaway car engages viewers. Rural locations like a park and forest school are chosen as they seem fitting for the crime and make the reenactments intriguing for audiences.

1. RESEARCH INTO COSTUME,
PROPS AND LOCATION
BY LOUIS TAYLOR

2. INTRODUCTION
• Costumes, Props and Location all have crucial aspects with in a documentary of representations to the
viewer. The costume warn can show things such as, the what the subject will or has been doing or even
symbols for what they believe in. Props can be used as symbols to show what the subject is doing or
gives good visuals to the viewer about what the object has been used for and why, and location can
show give the viewer greater understanding about the topic being discussed through visuals.

3. COSTUME- BLACK TRACKSUIT
• By using the black tracksuit with a hoody for our costume of the people kidnapping the girl it will give a
dark sense about them which will make the viewer fear them and begin to make them more serious. As
we are trying make the situation get taken more seriously this will allow people to become more
considerate and think about what could happen if they are not careful and act oblivious to the situation.
The tracksuit we will use for the kidnappers will have a hood and it in which the actors will wear up to
create a sense of mystery about we kidnapped to girl as we are yet to know who has taken the girls this
will remind the viewer they must be aware of everybody and will create mystery about there kidnapper
as we cannot see anything about him.

4. COSTUME- GLOVES
• Gloves could be used by the people kidnapping the girls to show how the crime was planned and they
didn’t want to be found out for this crime through forensics. This will show to the viewer how easy it is
to commit a crime like this and get away with out any evidence being left behind. We hope this will
strike fear into our audience to show them that this could happen to them and it could be made
difficult for the police to find them in some situations due to things like this some people are never
found again, showing to the viewer how serious the situation is and allowing them to take it more
serious as its applicable and could happen to them or their loved ones.

5. COSTUMES- SCHOOL UNIFORM
• By using the school uniform on the girls the were attacked it shows how young and innocent they are
showing the vulnerability of young girls. By using the school uniform it will allow the viewers of the
documentary to see the ruthlessness of the attackers causing them to fear the attackers and become
more aware of them as by seeing this it will show to them that they attack anyone even people who are
not on the same physical or mental state to fight back. It will also make them more aware for their
loved once for example if they have children it will make them become more protective over them until
the attacks stop or the person is caught.

6. PROPS- FOLDERS
• By using the folders once again it will remind the viewers of the vulnerability of the
girls and how ruthless the kidnappers were to attack them as they are young girls
who have not left school fully yet so for some sort of attack to take place on the
girls of this age it shows to the viewers that their loved ones may not be safe and
themselves also as the attackers have already shown how they don’t care who they
attack although it is the first attack seen by the people you can’t jump to
conclusion and think that they will only be going for young girls because of the two
they attempted to kidnapped.

7. PROPS- WEAPONS
• A fake weapon may be used with in the re-enactments to add extra fear factor onto our documentary
re-enactments and allow the audience to begin to fear the people that have attacked the girl to give
them a wake up call and make them realise the danger of what they are doing. Although we want to
add extra fear factor to scare the audience in a way into caring more and become more considerate of
what them or their loved ones are doing, we don’t want to make this to unrealistic to the public
otherwise they wont take it serious and will ignore what being shown with in the documentary making
it have the opposite effect of what we intended it to have on the viewers of our documentary, its
important that we get our message across but make sure its believable to the audience.

8. PROPS- CAR
• We are wary of this idea as we know it will be a difficult idea to organize as only a few
of our friends drive but it is possible and it will make our documentary more
interesting for the viewer to watch by having a get away vehicle in which we can try
and build up awareness for the public of this vehicle and also advice them to look out
for it. This adds more content for the audience to look into making it more interesting
for them to listen to, makes our re-enactment more realistic because the kidnappers
would of needed a vehicle to leave the park in and gives them something to be aware
of hook them into watching more of the documentary.

9. LOCATION- PARK
• There is a local park near the area of our school that we may use as the location to film the re-
enactment of the attack we have already decided in our group meeting that we need to use some more
rural because this is where it is more likely for there to be an attack because its quit and this will allow
the criminals who have kidnap the girls less chance of being caught due to lack of witnesses and
difficulties finding evidence. It is also the perfect place for the girls to be walking as we can say this is
their route to school and their local park when they have grown up giving them a sense of safety until
they were attacked.

10. LOCATION- SCHOOL FOREST
• This location has also been put in as a location of where we can film our re-enactments because it is
also a rural area and is a stereotypical place for attacks like this to take place down to the common
iryness and mystery about forest’s E.g. people hiding behind trees etc. By having this as our location it
will be easily accessible for us and will allow a more interesting and edge of you seat environment for
the audience to tune in on. We could use a number of edits etc. to make to forest have a strange
atmosphere about it and allow the viewer to make their own view up about whether they believe the
location is safe before they even see the attacks, it will also enable us as the documentary makers to
hook in and grip our viewers with a interesting re-enactment which will make them want to watch on.
