Props and Costume for 'Murder' Idea

For our idea of a thriller opening sequence about murder we planned to have a storyline including a drunken night out in which the main character wakes up to find people murdered in his room making the thriller chaotic. Therefore we would have props such as bottles of alcohol (empty and half full), weapons (knives) and general items you would have in a bedroom/living area. We thought these would be good props to use for this idea as it suggests the fact the main character has had a drunken night out and also props such as weapons can suggest to the audience how the people were murdered. The props of general house items can also give the audience a feel of the setting and therefore relate to the main character. Also for clothing the main character would be in 'going out' styled clothing therefore smart casual wear to suggest that they have been out the night before. The character could also have blood stains on their clothing suggesting they committed the murders but cannot remember it happening due to their drunken state the night before.
