Costumes, props and objects planning

Costumes, Props and Objects: Planning. 

  Each character is different, based on gender, ethnicity and their role in the thriller. Therefore, we have to present them completely differently by dressing them differently.

• My character, Bill James, is wearing black. Black leather shoes, black work trousers, huge black coat, and leather black gloves. This idea was originally related to kill Bill vol.1 as we wanted to use similar props for the shots. Bill in Kill Bill has generic cow boy boots, directly related to his ethnicity, and as our thriller is English, and I am English, I decided to present myself as smart, especially as my character will be presented as the boss. The camera will not see my face, just like in the opening to Kill Bill vol.1. The fact that I will be wearing black clearly illustrates that I am not the good character in this film. You could almost say that he is 'dressed for the occasion'.
• Nature Wesby is American. The thriller starts off with Nature, Victor and Anna turning up to a house in Nature's car. Nature is different, and will therefore be portrayed as different. She will wear extravagant bright colours which will reflect on her loud and outgoing personality. This idea is not original, because ideas are never original, however, we have not come across a character like this in a thriller before. These types of characters belong in sitcoms and TV shows for children. However, this is only the opening to the thriller. You never know who she could be. Nature will be using an Iphone to listen to music during the thriller, this will be used to show how modern the film is. 
• Anna Flones is a blonde Norwegian teenage girl. She will be wearing bright red shoes, normal dark trousers or jeans, and a black and white jacket. She is the victim. She is very stereotypical with her ethnicity, and will not show any intelligence which relates to the blonde stereotype. She will forget her phone in the car, which is the reason she will get kidnapped so easily. There are countless characters like this in thrillers, such as brad Pitt's wife in Se7en. 
• Victor Neal will be dressed similarly to Bill in our thriller, except he will be more casually dressed. He has to fit in with the two female characters in order to be invited to Nature's house, but needs to be presented as similar to Bill. Victor uses his Iphone to communicate with my character, this is because he will be working for me. A perfect example of a character like this would be Billy Reynolds from Essex Boys.
