Props and furthur costumes

The props for our sequence are minimal, and will most likely consist of just the two weapons the characters have. We are currently thinking we would like to use a larger,more intimidating weapon-such as a sword for the attacker- and a small,easily concealed weapon for the main character. This is because if her weapon isn't intimidating on it's own where her attackers is the embodiment of strength and power, when she easily defeats him it will show her true strength and superiority. Our choice of weapons will aid us in showing our main female character as powerful.


The costume for our characters will be strongly influenced by films like Underworld and Blade, particularly our main characters. Our female lead's outfit will be all dark, most likely completely black, with a long black coat over top- a common feature of supernatural thrillers.This image of Kate Beckinsale in Underworld is very similar to the outfit we want for our lead, and was a strong inspiration.


For the attacker we want an outfit that has similarities(particularly in the dark colours of his clothing) but also shows that he is not the character we should identify with. We plan to do this by having him wear something hooded, that covers the majority of his face and leaves his identity hidden and secretive-- perhaps something that could be later revealed in the plot.

We also plan to use make up to add to the supernatural feel, and show that the characters are more than human.We are going to make the faces very pale, but use purple around their eyes in a style very similar to Tim Burtons.




We are also considering the use of contacts-possibly cat eyes- something that is conventional in supernatural films as a way of portraying the animal like qualities of many supernatural characters.
