Props and Costumes

MARY (Faiza Wasim)

Costume- As our thriller opening is based in a real life setting our characters will be dressed rather plainly. Mary is the protagonist in our film which is a powerful role she will be able to portray this through her costumes and the mis-en-scene such as her bedroom in which everything will be considered as a prop. She will be dressed in a basic everyday nightwear as the thriller is supposed to represent her mature yet powerful personality.

Props-

Mary will be wearing an everyday clothing which will suggest her plain self. She doesn't require any special props however she will just need a laptop to be able to communicate with her friend Mary through skype. The time of the day that we are shooting is evening as it is more effective and relevant to the context of our thriller opening. The decoration in Mary's bedroom will be the extra props that will add to the suspense and tension that the thriller piece will create.

Maya (Raima Uddin):

Costume- Mary is the other female protagonist in our piece who will also be dressed in a basic nightwear. We chose her to be wearing black to signify her everyday teenage. She is also a representation for teenage girls who face psychological threats in their everyday lives.

Props- Mary is just in the clip for a few seconds but her presence is significant to Mary who is the target in our thriller piece. She does not require any special props either except for an IPad or an IPhone that will help her to connect with her friend through skype. Both the characters represent everyday teenage life and the level of tensions they face in their real lives.
