Costume and props

Costume and props list

When looking at the genre of thriller costume and props are important to present and identify this genre to the audience, dark clothing is always associated with mystery and danger so we thought the unknown/attacker should be in dark clothing to make it obvious he is not a good character.

We thought of different props which will show the characters intension, props like knifes will show a lot to the audience. I wanted the main character to be a normal person so props like game consults and mobile phone which represented the youth of today, also we thought of different costumes for different characters and how they helped to introduce the characters.

The attacker needs certain clothing and props to present himself as a negative character. So the first scenes of the villain being exposed is very important and the audience must not be able to see the face of the villain as it will build up suspense, so the clothing must be dark and cover the face.

Costumes and props are essential for the success of a brilliant thriller opening and will help for the characters to build up tension for the audience and keep them wondering throughout the thriller opening.
