Props and Costumes

The main antagonist in our film is wearing a black jumper with a hood, dark jeans and black trainers. We have chosen this outfit because it maintains the characters element of mystery, his face cannot be seen clearly and little is known about him. Most of the shots obscure his face and the ones which don't show that his hood is up and his face is still not visible.



Props that this character uses include scissors to cut up pictures of his victims, both of these props create a sense of fear for the viewer in the way that they are portrayed. Also the shot where the pills are changed indicates that the main protagonist is in trouble.

To contradict this, the main protagonist is dressed in brighter colours and her face can be seen, showing her innocence and naivety.

She uses juxtaposing props, including a dog, which generates a joyful image for the viewer, and household objects, such as a hairbrush and a mug to demonstrate everyday life. One of the main props in the film is the car belonging to the girl, as she is kidnapped the antagonist is shown taking the keys to her car, he then throws the girl into the boot of the car, which is an Aston Martin, again showing her quality of life and what she is leaving behind.
