Thriller Opening- Costumes, Props and Objects

We are not using many props in our thriller opening, which is quite easy. We will need to have a pizza box,   a teddy bear, a bicycle, a ball/Frisbee and a hose.

We need to have a pizza box due to he fact that one of our main characters will be a pizza delivery boy, he will have to have a pizza to deliver so we need to get hold of a pizza box which should be fairly easy to get hold of.

The teddy bear will be for the child character we are having where ever the child is standing, the teddy will be by her side hanging holding one hand lopsided almost dead like. I think it just adds the extra innocence to the child character.

The hose is to create rain if it isn't already raining, it will be sprayed over the pizza delivery boy as he is going up the driveway, we believe this will create tension and add to the typical horror convections.

A bike is purely for a mode of transport for the pizza delivery boy as he pedals down the driveway.

A ball/frisbee is purely for the use in the first clip we are having of the young girl playing, we are doing this  to make out that she has died in a indirect way.

We won't need to be to dramatic with our costumes. The young girl will be wearing a loose nightgown to add the the fact that she's young, innocent and also adds again i think typical thriller convections. We will get this from a charity shop. The pizza boy will have a cap on his head, wearing a polo shirt and some jeans, this will be easy to get hold of, our actor will just wear his own things because he has all of this. The actor playing the father will need to have a tank top over a shirt, some jeans and glasses, our actor for this part is also supplying these from his own wardrobe.

We will be using make-up, hair gel and hairspray in the making of our characters, i have all the equipment for this and it will be minimal but effective in the light and for the camera.

  1. It is good that you have considered the reasons behind your prop choices, Emily. Can you refer to any thriller films that use similar props, symbols or clothing?

    Check your spelling - CONVENTION
