Props and Costume for 'On The Run' Idea
For our film opening idea of someone being on the run, certain props and costumes are required to fit into the thriller genre. The opening will show a mysterious character quickly packing items in a bag, and gathering up things they would need to get away, but the props and costumes we would use would emphasize the mystery of the character.
For the props used, there would be a bag for the character to pack things they would need, such as a brown parcel with an unknown item inside, which reflects the mystery of the character. There could also be drugs packed, as this would show that the character is shifty, and dodgy, which is perhaps why they are trying to get away. As well as this, the character would be packing essentials, like a passport showing they want to get far away.
As for the costume, they would be wearing all dark clothing, and a dark hoodie to disguise their face, making them look like a mysterious character, as dark colours for mise en scene are used more for dangerous or strange characters. There will also be the use of make-up on the face of the main character to make him look like someone on drugs, to make the audience believe the character trying to be created as a mysterious person.
