Props and Costumes

For our thriller opening, we will be using a few different props in order to give the opening the right feel that we need for the opening. 

One of the props that we will be using is a mask. This can be seen on the right hand side. We decided that to use a mask would be a lot more suspenseful rather than not. This is because it hides the persons identity, allowing for the audience to be curious and suspicious as to who the intruder is. The colour of the mask being black allows for the theme of the opening to be seen throughout. This wouldn't be as effective if we had a different coloured mask because it doesn't portrayed the mystery that we want.

We also want to have our antagonist dressed all in black in order to continue the theme of mystery. The idea of dark clothing give the idea that the person has a dark personality. Furthermore, the use of long sleeves and long trousers allows for the identity of the protagonist to be unknown.




For our protagonist, we wanted her to be portrayed as a typical teenager. This is why we decided to have our actress wear what she thinks would be appropriate. It helped that our actress is also a part of our group, meaning that she knows exactly what we want from the costume. We decided on having our actress in ripped jeans and a crop top. This shows that she is just a normal teenager being targeted as an innocent person. We also included a phone and a laptop as part of the props. This shows that she is of a younger age and also allowed us to incorporate easily, different parts of the storyline that we felt was necessary. This would be where Izzy talks to her 'boyfriend' over the laptop and her best friend over the phone.
