Costumes and Props

Costume and Props are one of the key aspects to our genre as they are a part of the codes and conventions.

COSTUME/PROPS

Costume is fundamental to a characters identification. This is because, the audience won't even need to hear the character speak and they will have an idea of who that character is. Costume can also represent what sort of background that character is from.

DR. JACKSON

COSTUME: This character will be easily identifiable as a scientist because she will dress stereo-typically as a scientist. She will wear smart black trousers and a white lab jacket. Along with this we will make her look as formal as possible with glasses and her hair up as well.
PROPS: As a prop she will wear scientific goggles and white gloves. Furthermore, she will have test tubes, test tube racks and other various experimental equipment around her, which are needed to give the impression that she is a scientist.


ALEX JAMES
COSTUME: Alex is the main character who will be wearing dark clothing so that we can show that her character is tough and not afraid to take action. She will look rough as she has just left her home in a panic. She will wear, black leggings, a backpack, a hoodie and converse. The purpose of this clothing is that we still want her to have a tough exterior so that the audience can assume that she is one of the strongest and secure characters and that she know what she is doing. Her hair will either be down or in a messy bun, and she will wear dark makeup to add to the idea that she is dangerous.
PROPS: She will have a phone and a backpack to contact other characters and to keep her possessions safe. However, she will not have a gun as we want her character to be vulnerable.


HAYDEN WHEELER

COSTUME: He is the SI5's best 'assassin'. He will wear all black which will give him an element of seriousness and professionalism.This will include black jogging bottoms/jeans, a black tshirt, a black hoodie, and a black face mask to hide his identity from the public.
PROPS: He will have a gun which is to protect himself but also to assassinate with. Additionally, he will also have a walkie talkie to which he will use to communicate with John Ross when needed.


JOHN ROSS
COSTUME: John Ross is another main character who is the head of the SI5. He will be filmed wearing suits. These will include navy and black suits to show his sophistication, as he his the head of a dominating organisation. 
PROPS: A gun, as he must protect himself and a phone so that he can contact the other members of the SI5. He will also have a briefcase full of money for when he pays Jessie in the trailer.





JESSIE WRIGHT
COSTUME: She will wear black trousers/jeans with a plain top or jumper. This is because she plays the friend of Alex and doesn't get in any physical disputes throughout the trailer so she will be wearing clothes a normal teenager would wear.


PROPS: She will have a phone so that she can contact Alex when needed.






LEO DAVID
COSTUME: He will be smartly dressed to show that he is apart of the 'SI5' organisation. He will wear an all black suit at some points during the trailer to show his dark side, but a lighter, blue suit to show he is not a complete 'evil' character.
PROPS: A phone and a gun as he is one of the most important members of the SI5 so he must protect himself and also a phone to communicate with Alex.






RACHEL ADAMS

COSTUME: As she is a news reporter, we only see the top half of her, so therefore the only costume that we will see her wearing is a formal shirt and a blazer. She will also be wearing makeup to give her an older and professional loos. This is because it is stereotypical of news reporters to dress smartly and look pretty as they broadcast the news nationwide.
PROPS: A microphone and papers so that she can read the news story and she can be heard.
