Costume and Props

Here is the list of the props we will use:
 

• Baseball/Cricket Bat- This is one of the main focuses within our film opening as it is the weapon and the woman's only form of protection. We want to add emphasis to this as in thriller films there is a lot of focus on the weapon- it is a convention of a thriller film. 
• Cable Ties- These are what we will use to keep the 'hostages' to their chairs. This shows the unpreparedness that the woman had in this situation as she didn't have a plan. Cable ties are easily purchased from your local hardware store. 
• Chairs- We will use the chairs simply to put the 2 hostages on as we tie them up with the cable ties. This prop is more of a formality than an actual prop to be used within the scene. 
• Computer- This will be used when he is at work, what he uses to message his mistress off of in order to keep his wife off of his back. 
• Sofa- There will be a sofa situated directly behind the chairs where the hostages are tied up. It is where the woman will sit, it contrasts the uncomfortableness that the 2 hostages are in. 

Here are the costumes and makeup that we will need/use?

• The husband will have a suit/formal clothes on, telling the audience he has just got home from work. He won't have any makeup, only bruising around the wrist.
• The 'mistress' or Emily will have date-like clothes on, a nice dress or jeans and a nice top. This would tell the audience that she was on her way to meet the husband. Her make-up will be smudged as though she has been crying- indicating her panic and difficult situation
• The wife will be wearing typical day-to-day clothes, to show she is a housewife as she doesn't need professional clothes. Her make-up will look near enough perfect, this can show that she is in control of the situation.
