Props and Costumes



Casual wear like this jogging bottoms and long sleeved shirt will display the age of the character and engages with our target audience more. For instance, Mary will be wearing casual bottoms, which engages with our 15-19 target audience range but her formal t-shirt will help display her character more thoroughouly thus showing she is a perfectionist and wants certain things done her way. But, of course, the clothes that Mary will be wearing will allow the audience to decide what they think Mary is as a character thus gripping their attention even further. This costume must be a mix of formal and casual so we can allow the thriller code and coventions to flow easily- the costume helps display our character.



Laptop- This prop is used during the scene between Mary and Maya talking via web cam. This will help the audience understand what is happening in this scene more thoroughouly. This prop is also modern so it will make our thriller movie opening more realisitic thus engaging with the audience more. This prop also enables us to learn more about Mary's behaviour and more about her personality, which inevitably helps us understand her character and whether or not to like her as a character.

Phone- This prop is essential as this is used when Mary receives a text from an Unknown person, which develops the story further. This phone also displays Mary's character as well as the co-ordination of the way it is set-up straight next to her shows that she is an perfectionist and likes things to be sorted but this text in some sense ruins her perfect world. The colour of the phone also displays her character further as the colour of the phone is Pink and most typical Hollywood stuck-up girls are very fond of the colour Pink thus displaying typical Hollywood features in our movie thriller.

Doll- this prop is used at the end of our thriller movie opening to create suspense and tension. This doll is a representation of a spooky character that is anoymously texting Mary thus making the audience wonder if the antagonist is a random stalker or the doll itself is doing all the eerie madness. This doll conveys a demonic nature and makes us wonder if it is being possessed or it has a humanly power within it, which inevitably creates tension when it is thrown at the end of the thriller movie opening.
