Costume and Props

Costume-
Girl
• 2 plain white T-shirts-one should be clean, the other with blood
• 1 pair of White trousers
• 1 pair of white trainers, clinical looking

Clinic worker
• 1 pair of Black, men’s trousers
• 1 White, doctor’s jacket
• 1 pair of Black, polished men’s shoes

Props-
• Bottle with tablets, sticker should have a long name for medication
• Make-up e.g. Mascara for girl
• Hair brush to make girls hair messy
• Blood capsules for moment where girl spits out blood
• Bed with white sheets to show simplicity
• White pillow case
• Small, simple wooden table for clinical room.
• Spray bottle to spray girls face to look like sweat during running scene

The completely white outfit for the main character (Grace) is worn to show that she belonged to a mental asylum. It is also worn to show her innocence, and this contrasts with the background of the dark forest. The clinic worker's outfit is worn to show that he is businesslike, and that the audience should not get emotionally attached to him, because he is almost like a stereotype of a doctor. Everything inside the room of the asylum (apart from the wooden table) will be white. This represents simplicity and will hopefully create a realistic looking room belonging to an asylum.

There is some evidence of planning and organisation on your blog. I'd like to see more detail though please. For example, what effects are you hoping to create with these props. Also - how did you cast the film? Where is yoru evidence of location scouting? Planning music choices? What were your original ideas?
