Costume and Make-Up Ideas.

Megan (Scarlet) -18

• White Vest Top
• Black Leggings
• Black Socks
• Black+White Checkered Dress
• Pale Pink Lipstick
• Dark Eye Shadow
• Eyeliner
• Mascara

At first we thought that it would be a good idea for Megan (Scarlet) to just wear her dress because she is obviously getting ready for the same party that the other 3 girls are going to. Another thought we had was that the fake blood would ruin her dress so we changed her costume idea to a vest top and leggings this was because she doesn’t wear the vest top often which means she could get rid of the top if she wanted to. The Black leggings are so that she is comfortable and if the blood gets on her legs then it wouldn’t show as much therefore wouldn’t ruin her leggings. The dress also indicates her personality as a gothic type of girl because it is the same style as the stereotyped gothic personality would normally wear. The make-up also makes her look less like she has life within her body which is what a gothic would normally wear which could also foreshadow that she is going to die quite early on during the film. However it emphasis the innocence because you can see in her eyes and her attitude and tastes that she is still young.

Chantelle (Eva) -20

• Black Laced Dress
• Burnt Orange Platforms
• Natural Lip Colour
• Brown Eye Shadow
• Mascara
• Fake Lashes

Chantelle (Eva) is the oldest of the group and therefore needs to look like she is able to control 3 other girls whilst having fun and looking nice for a party.

ANALYSE DRESS

The dress needed to be a zipped dress because the two scenes between Eva and Riley link by zipping up the back of the dress. The burnt orange platforms shows that she need to have a height advantage over the rest of the group. This could show Eva’s age, height and experience compared to the rest of the girls. Eva is the leader of the group and needs to be the most sensible person, and that is why she wears natural make-up, apart from the fake lashes. The fake lashes show that she is ready to go out and have a fun time with her girls.

Abigail (Riley) -19

• Cream + Black Dress
• Black Heeled Sandals
• Natural Foundation
• Pink Lipstick
• Eyeliner
• Mascara

The dress I am wearing plays into the hands of my character’s (Riley) girly personality because it is not too long and not revealing which shows she is just trying to have a good time with a group of friends rather than looking at anything else. High heels shoes are always used to represent a person who is going to a party even if they have different agenda’s or plans for the night out. Sandals are more of a girly thing to wear especially when at a party because it  portrays the image that she isn’t worried about people standing on her feet as she would more likely be sat down talking to her friends. My character wears natural make-up because she has a girly personality and wears minimal make-up as girly girls usually like the natural look.

Kimberley (Cassie) -17

• Leopard Print + Black Dress
• Leopard Print High Heels
• Natural Foundation
• Red Lip Liner
• Red Lipstick
• Eyeliner
• Mascara

Kimberley’s character (Cassie) has been labelled the ‘slut’ although she is the youngest of the group, however this could be the reason she dresses to impress in order to make her look like she is older and she belongs with the other girls. The leopard print part of the dress emphasis the chest area and brings peoples attention there, this could be her aim because she is going to a party and therefore must want more attention then others from the guys. As the dress is shorter at the front and long at the back makes her legs look longer and whilst Cassie is wearing heels it makes her look taller and indicates she might be to young to be at the party. Cassie is wearing natural foundation which would make her look slightly more tanned than usual and she puts a lot of effort into making her lips look more defined because of the lipstick and lip liner. The eyeliner and mascara would also help her to bring out the colour and brightness of her eyes.

Daniel (Killer)

• Black Hooded Jacket
• Jeans
• Trainers

The character Daniel is playing is the killer and we need him to be very mysterious and hidden. The reason he has to wear a black hooded jacket is because it is easier to hide in dark places which is helpful because it is during the night. A weakness of the costume ideas for the killer is that you are able to see that he is a male, which eliminates some of the mystery we tried to create. You can tell that the character is a male because of the way he is dressed as many males are not bothered with their looks. Jeans and trainers isn’t the best looking dress code for a female as they could be classed as ‘unnatural’ or ‘scruffy’ but if you were to ask a male what they thought, they are most likely to have a different comment.

Props Log.

We have looked through the animatics and thought about everything we need to include into our props log and we have come up with:

• Fake Blood
• White Bed Sheets
• A Knife
• 4 Mobile Phones
• Alarm Clock
• 3 Mirrors
• 2 Mascara’s

The fake blood is an essential when creating a Thriller film and even when just filming the first 2 minutes it is still needed. Due to there being a death within the first two minutes we need to indicate that the character Scarlet (Megan) has been stabbed. We need the fake blood to show on the body (to show where she has been stabbed), on the bed sheets (to indicate she has bled a lot) and on the murder weapon (because no murder weapon is clean straight away). We need a lot of fake blood because she is going to be stabbed in the chest near the heart which would bleed a lot.

We need to use white bed sheets because the fake blood would show up more on the white sheets rather than the usual black bed sheets Megan has on her bed. Another reason we decided to use cheap white bed sheets is that we didn't want to stain her actual bed sheets. Due to the bed sheets being white which is naturally a pure colour that indicates an innocent young person has died.

Using a knife as the murder weapon because it is a common household item that anyone would be able to get a hold of and it is a more personal weapon of choice. This could foreshadow the killers story of his vengeance about girls in university. Guns are not as discreet as a knife because they are bulkier and more noticeable, where as a knife is small and concealable. We chose the knife because you have to be up close and quiet to be able to kill without the victim suspecting anything, but with a gun you can shoot from a distance.

We need to use four mobile phones because there are four girls that need to communicate with each other. The start of the film is centered around the four girls before the party and trying to contact Scarlet (Megan) because they don't know what happened to her.

An alarm clock is needed because this is when the leader of the group Eva (Chantelle) knows when to call the rest of the girls to make sure that they are ready for the party. The alarm is also there to tell the audience what the time is which also helps to indicate the ages of the girls. This is because the time that the alarm goes off is 9:50 and most girls in university would not have a specific times they have to be back because they live with other girls their age not parents.

We are using 3 mirrors for Scarlet (Megan), Riley (Abigail) and Cassie (Kimberley) to use whilst getting ready to go to the party. They are props because although Scarlet (Megan) doesn't use the mirror, her dress is hanging on the mirror. The reason we decided on putting the dress on the mirror because of the set-up of Megan's room, this is due to the fact you can see the door-way in the mirror. Riley (Abigail) and Cassie (Kimberley) need to use the mirror to put on the make-up that links the two scenes together.

The two types of mascara is needed because they are the one factor that links the scene between Riley (Abigail) and Cassie (Kimberley) as we use other factors to link the other girls together.

Institutional Features.

The institution we have decided to use to produce our film is Summit Entertainment which are based in America. Since 2006, Summit has become an individual production company after working with Lions Gate and Universal. Although they had officially launched as Summit Entertainment in 1993 as a production, distribution and sales organisation.

Some of the films that Summit have produced include:

The Twilight Saga (2008) - Romantic Fantasy Film

The Hurt Locker (2009) - American War Film

The Darkest Hour (2011) - Science Fiction Thriller Film

Sinister (2012) - Supernatural Horror Film

Escape Plan (2013) - Action Thriller Film

The film that we are creating we have chosen the genre as a Thriller film because of the features that it contain. The features that we are including in our film is that there is a realistic and natural representation of the young girls who start of getting ready for the party. The killer is not a natural representation of every day life because we have indicted that he is sociopath on the war path, but you do hear about people who kill within the news but it is rarely someone you know. This is one of the reasons that we chose Summit Entertainment to produce our film because they mainly produce Thriller films recently.
