Costume and props

Our use of costume/props was a main feature in producing our opening sequence as it helped give a first impression of our characters and emphasise our focus on horror. 

First of all our costume for our main character Kayleigh is a long white night gown with dark black make up round her eyes and pale white face make up. this gives a deathly look and shows the audience that she is lifeless and is present in order to haunt jason. We got our inspiration of Kayleigh's costume and makeup from a character played in 'the Grudge' who plays a similar role, she also wears a long white dress and has similar deathly makeup.

We dressed our other main character Jason in typical, casual wear- a track suit and a black top. This is to distinguish the contrast between the flash back and reality in our film. It emphasises that the first half of our sequence is not real- the costume and props in this half are very unrealistic to create fear. However in the second half of our opening sequence, after Jason wakes up our costume and props are very typical and up to date. 

We used various props in our opening sequence to help emphasise our horror genre. One of our most significant props is a bed side alarm clock which reads the time of 3:25 which is an important aspect to the plot of the film. This clock appears in the flashback and also when jason wakes up, both reading the same time. This is the exact time that Kayleigh dies. Which shows the audience how its constantly haunting Jason. The repeativness of this clip makes the audience see that this is a key part of the film, it is the time when kayliegh died.
