Looking for Record Player

We searched on Amazon for different record players, because we thought it would be the best place to buy it since Amazon is reliable and fast in delivery. 

We were thinking of a black record player in a briefcase style, to hint that his character is constantly on the move. The black colour also connotes his dark, evil character. 

Unfortunately, due to our limited budget we had to select a record player that did not fit our style but fit within our budget. 

Below is the record player we chose and purchased, it's retro style connotes that the man is older

It costed £30 and is arriving between the 16-20 of Jan.

Looking for Chairs

We looked for different chairs online, we were looking for chairs that had an old traditional look and that was not detailed with any textiles or engravings. 

Make-up for Dead Girl

We need very realistic corpse make-up on the girl, in order to give clues that she is dead, however not to exaggerated to distract from the other elements in the scene.

For her face, we would like to use grey, blue, and green tones to give a dead-look to the girl.

We will also use small hints of red and purple to show signs of bruising and cuts.

On her limbs, fingers/ nails, I want to use deep blues and greens to show her cold body and also when a person dies blood leaves the limbs thus giving a blue tinge to the skin. We will also use make-up to give the impression of gangrenous fingers and nails. 

I really like this video tutorial because the make-up is very close to how I want it on the shoot. 

I think the make-up for the finger is perfect to use on the girls toenails:

Costume: Why we chose it

Why:

We chose the colour white because it is pure and it represents her innocence. We also decided this dress because it is realistic that she would be buried in this. This also gives the audience a feel of sympathy towards her because the dress shows her being very angelic.

We made the man wear ordinary clothing to show the audience that he is no different to you or the people that surround you. We made him wear gloves it tells the audience that he wants to leave no trace. 

We also decided for the man to wear a fedora hat because for at the end of the thriller there will be a silhouette of him with the hat showing, and by having the hat connotes that he is going out.  

Costume: Back-up

Back-up for Costumes

In case we cannot buy the items of clothing, we will ask the actor to bring their own clothes, e.g. gloves.

In case we do not get the dress, the actress playing the dead girl would bring a white dress which she would wear. Mia is aware that we will dirty and stain her dress if we use it.

Additionally the school’s theatre department would be useful to source costumes for the scene. 

Costume: Cost

Girls Costume:

Overall, the girls costume would cost £15 if we ordered online.

Man’s Costume:

For the man we would buy the gloves, hat, tie and coat, these main items of clothing would cost £90 altogether. Other items of clothing such as the black pants, white shirt, and black shoes would be brought in by the actors themselves because they are items of clothing most older males would have. Additionally it saves money of our budget.

Costume: What are they?

What:

The girl will be wearing a white gown that she is buried in. It is a white long sleeve chiffon  maxi dress that we will stain with mud. In order to give an aged effect and to make it appear that she has been dug up from her grave.

The man will be wearing a simple white shirt with a dark olive green tie with black trouser. His main item of clothing will be a black thick wool coat. He also will be wearing a hat called a fedora as he leaves and black leather gloves.
