Props and Costume

I am going to be speaking about the props and costumes that will be used for my thriller and I am going to explain why I have chosen each thing and the effect that I want it to have. My thriller is going to be a  sort of mystery thriller so that it the reasoning for some of the props and costumes.Just by the props and clothing a character has you an tell what sort of person that character is.

In terms of props things that will be used within the thriller will be knives, gym  gloves ( finger less) and a bag and the use of these three props that the main character possesses shows that he is a crazy and mysterious sort of person.       

The use of the gym gloves  in the piece could suggest that the main character is about to get into some trouble and may get into some sort of danger whether it be in a fight or something much more serious as he also has knives on him as well .


The use of the prop of the knives is key as it is said you can tell by the props and/or costume a character has you can tell the sort of person they are and the fact that the main character has knives with him in his bedroom and puts some in his bag tells you that he is a crazy character and that  is exactly what our group wanted to portray him as.

The main character will be wearing a grey t-shirt with black tracksuit bottoms and will later on be wearing a grey and black jacket not only was this selected because it is stereotypical clothing for a teenage boy but the colour choices for clothing of black and grey is a connotation of darkness and being dull and these are two things that this character is associated with.
