Costume, location, props and actors.

I have been assigned the role of choosing the costumes for our film.
Sarah has been put on props and Aidan and Rob have been assigned location.
Seeing as the film is supposed to be a thriller and quite dark and ominous, it seems as though we will need to put our characters in clothing that stand out as sad/disturbed.

Main character: Teenage (16/17) girl. Medium height, curvy.
- A short tight body con skirt.
- A tight blank vest top.
- Black fish net tights?
- Coloured high heels?
- White Handbag.
- Blue layered thin jacket.
- Make-up: Pale face with with smudged dark red lipstick, black mascara smudged around eyes and a few streams down the face with a slight hint of coloured eye shadow.

We wanted this costume and make-up to make sure that the young girl looks like she has just been to a party, yet at the same time looks as though she has had a rough night the night before. By having ripped tights it looks as though the young girl has been in some sort of trouble and by matching this with running make-up and a pale face, she will look upset and scared.

Elle Pemberton - 17.

Elle is a part of an acting group named Rama and therefore I thought she would be a good actress for our piece. She has been a friend of mine for a while and I knew I could trust and rely on her. Also, her experience was a great advantage for us.



Rapist: Older guy (19/20). Medium height, slight muscle.
- Dark skinny-ish jeans.
- Green t-shirt.
- Large Nike trainers.
- Longish dark hair.


Jake Frost - 17.

Jake is doing A level Drama at George Spencer College. Because he also has experience and is a good friend of mine, Rob's and Aidan's it was easy for us to be able to rely on him and also to be able to easily ask him to help us out.

Location
Aidan and Rob went out during the lesson last week and took pictures of Chilwell fields (where the main character will walk after she has been raped) to see which route would be best for us to film on.















Also in this lesson, Sarah put together a storyboard that Rob could put together a video with the shots in it:


Chilwell fields is the best place for us to film our actress walking home because it is murky and muddy and therefore matches the mood. The girl is supposed to have been messed about and feel terrible which is how the surroundings will look as they have little grass and look as though they haven't been tended to in a while.


Props
We also need just a few props for our film. There aren't very many because it isn't the props that actually explains how the film works out, it's more the answers.
Therefore we will only need:
- Keys: for when Ellie will open her front door to get home and feels a hand on her shoulder.
- Bottle: for when Ellie takes a swig in a flashback to show the audience that she had been drinking and could be quite drunk.
- Bag: for Ellie to search through to find her keys when she gets to her front door and also just generally because teenagers carry handbags.
- Tights: not just costume as it is a prop for one of the scenes in the piece when Ellie takes her tights off just after she has been raped.
