Costumes and Props

The costumes are as follows:
Abigail - White shirt, black skirt, black tights, black high heels. We decided to use these clothes etc because we feel it is a good representation of a femme fetale. However the white shirt indicates to the audience her purity and how she doesn't realise what effect she has had on her lodger.

Scott - Long black coat, black trousers, black boots. We chose this costume because we feel that the dark choice of colours represent how he is feeling.

The boyfriend - You do not see much of the boyfriends costume but simple clothing will be used.

We do not have many significant props in our thriller. A knife will be used by Abigail when she is cutting the meat. The knife will be fairly big so that the audience can identify what genre the film holds. The meat we are using will be easy to cut and will be oozing with blood, the audience may then question the blood and the events that are about to occur. Large scissors will be used by Scott who will cut up pictures of Abigail. We are using this prop because we believe it resembles Scott's heart being cut up when he falls inlove with Abigail.

Health and Safety measures:
We are aware that we are using a large sharp knife and precaution will be put in place when using it. When the bottle of wine is dropped, we are being very careful as to wear we are standing and the glass and liquid is going to be cleaned up immediately.


This image only gives an idea to what our femme fatale character will be wearing.    ----------->

  1. If Abigail is based on the femme fatale archetype do not that purity is not usually associated with the femme fatale. Check out the definition of a femme fatale I asked you to post onto your blog. You may wish to revise these points. Abigail has the glamour of the femme fatale but the vulnerability of the helpless victim in thrillers.
