Costumes and Props

 Alex and I delegated the props and costumes we will be using for our film. For the opening scene, we did not have many things we needed to purchase. We wanted to keep the colors of their outfits simple and neutral. Colors like navy, white, black, and grey will all be utilized to maintain the film's neutral color palette. In the opening scene, Kayla will be wearing navy while Elle is wearing white and black. As the scene progresses to indoors. Household items will be used as props to set the home. We are using a location that is already furnished, which makes that aspect simple. As Elle moves into her room, a melatonin bottle and a vase will be used as props. I can bring these items from home since I already have them in my possession. For Elle's nighttime outfit, she will change into something more comfortable. We used sweatpants and a long sleeve for this outfit change. Luckily, we also already have this in our own closets at home. During the scenes of more action, we will use Alex's dad's pickup truck as the kidnapping car, and random trash to create an eerie mood. We went on amazon to find fake weapons to ensure no actors get hurt. Along with that, we purchased lab coats for the last scene. Overall, these simple attributes can really make a difference from an average short film, to a spectacular one. It's easy to just go with the flow when it comes to costumes, but in reality, a film has symbolism all over it. Even what characters are wearing can say something to an audience.
