Practical Task - Props and Costumes

For our films opening, we have two characters, the costumes for these characters are listed below.

Dead person lying on floor / Alex Wilson (Alex Simon): 

• Bloodied casual clothes (Patterned shirt/White T-Shirt & jeans)

Person attempting suicide / Michael Blakewood (Michael Thomas):

• Tattered clothes (blue chinos, dark top)

Props:

• Alcohol bottles: These are for the character "Michael" who is about to commit suicide in the first scene, this is to show the audience that he is not thinking straight and is making an irrational decision. The bottles will only be in one scene, being the opening which means we will only need it on the 17th of January as it is part of the stage decoration. 

• A Fake Black Gun: This is going to be in every scene during the opening, it will be owned by the character Michael and will be carried by him into the next two locations. The gun is black and is owned by Alex, we will be using it from the 17th of January and the 20th of February.

• Tic Tacs and Pill bottle: These will also only be in the first scene however, they will be in use as the character "Michael" will be taking them to present him as a drug user to emphasise his rash decision. Barney and I will but the tic tack and i already have a pill bottle to use 

• Vimto: The Vimto will be used as fake blood during the last scene to show the character Alex Wilson dying. We will use it on the 20th of February.

• A White T-Shirt: Alex will be wearing a white shirt with the Vimto poured on it to look like blood, this will be to show that he is dying and that it was quite recent. 

• Glass: The glass will only be used in the first scene when Michael drinks from it to swallow the pills. We will use it on the 17th of January
