Costume/Props

So far as a group, we have decided on most of our costumes and props. However these decisions are not perminate as they suit our potential script which we have not decided is final. For the main villains of the film we have decided on basic white masks which conceal their identities. As mentioned previously we want the masks to be of a simple design as this will make the villains mysterious and scary as opposed to a cheesy complex mask. However we have not decided on their costumes as their backgrounds are not finalised. For example, if we choose to have the villains as mafia type gangsters, then we will probably have them wearing black suits with ties. However, another option we have is to make the villains stereotypical thugs wearing hoodies and jeans, although we are shying away from this idea as it seems too cliche and cheesy.

For the main character of the film he will probably be wearing a red t-shirt with jeans as the colour coding of this symbolises danger which will foreshadow the film. He will be a typical 16 year old male who is walking through the woods to get home.

For our props we have decided that our villains will carry and use blunt weapons such as metal baseball bats. This is because our villains aren't out to kill the main character but instead severely hurt him. So far we have decided to use two metal baseball bats and a lead pole. Below is one of the baseball bats that will be used in the film.

So far we have most of these items but we are still researching the masks. We want to get cheap masks but don't want them to look silly and extremely fake. All the masks will be identical to each other however, we are going to personalise each one using spray paint. The villains have no dialogue throughout the entire film as we wanted them to feel mysterious and seem extremely scary. Because of this we are using the spray paint to show the personalities of each of the villains. For example one of the members may have a happy looking mask with a big smile to emphasize the fact that he is phycopath that enjoys committing these crimes.
