Costumes + Props list

 70's style 

Our film opening sequence will be shot in a 70's style format which we had decided on due to the look of our filming location which has the overall colour scheme and feel of a closed off 70's location. The elements we are looking for to make it feel like the 70's are the colours of and types of props we are going to use along with the music and location. We have also themed our killer with the look you would typically see on men in the 70's he will have blue jeans and a button up shirt.

Mop and bucket 

The mop and bucket will also be old and worn with the bucket being metal and hopefully we will be able to stain the bucket to give it more worn and used look along with the mop head being split and the handle being used with the wood slightly splintered etc. The mop will also be used to represent the killer as when you first see him with the mop you will believe he is just a janitor or a cleaner then as the camera slowly pans down to what he is cleaning you see it is the blood revealing he is the killer cleaning his crime scene. Normally audiences would find it strange to see a killer cleaning his own crime scene in a calm manner seemingly enjoying it so this should be a shock to the audience. 

Plain black shoes 

The plain black shoes will be the items used to let the audience know who the killers victims were previously. Before we were going to have around three different bodies to show the killers victims but due to COVID this was not possible so we found this alternative solution which adds to the killers mystery. The black shoes could also be representative of the 70's as black flat shoes were often worn and dance shoes as fashion at the time the killer could also be using them as trophies to add more 'victory' to his murders. 

Headphones- Cassette player 

The cassette player is used to show that he is enjoying himself while hiding the body and cleaning the crime scene this is used to make the audience feel unsettled in his presence and question why he is enjoying committing such a horrible act. We are also using a cassette player to again keep it in the feel of the 70's as this is a time were cassette player became more accessible and widely used in quite a few areas.

Dolls house 

The dolls house will be used and only features in the credits of our opening sequence as it will not be a key feature in the actual filming. The dolls house was from our groups original idea and we felt that if we could not incorporate in a way in the actual opening sequence we will have it as a backdrop for our credits an example of this in real film is Halloween where there was a jack o lantern as the backdrop for the majority of the credits at the beginning of the film but jack o lanterns were not a main theme or antagonistic force in the movie
