Props and Costumes

We have decide to do a 1950's style for our costumes. As the thriller that we are focusing on is based on a true event which occurred in the 50's. We have chosen a smart look for our actors which represents power and authority.

Connor as one of the main character (John) will be wearing a long dark Paletot coat and a bowler hat.The length of this jackets suggest that its autumn/winter time which brings out the dark and cold times.It also symbolises the harsh/cold crime that goes on at this season as the duration of the days makes people more vulnerable.

Tom as the protagonist (Tim) will be wearing a brown tweed jacket with a matching bowler hat and a brown suit case.The characters costume will stand out from the two policemen which helps focus the audience on Tim as the innocent man.

The inside of the church compliments the constume of Tim as the colours match.This sends a message to the audience which suggests that he blends in with the church as if he was meant to be here.Also the dark jackets of John and Clarence Stand out against the background of the church which helps the audience pick out danger.
