Props, make up and costume





















To ensure that the audience would not get confused, we had to think hard about the continuity editing. Every day that we filmed, we had to remember to bring the same costume and accessories such as the bag and the blazer. We had to remember even the little things, like which arm the girl (Georgia) had the bag wrapped around and made sure that this didn’t change as we moved around for the next shot.


Before filming the final scene in the woods we went to the art department and applied make up and paint on Georgia’s face. I (Roberta) applied the make up whilst Maria took some photos to put up onto our Blog. We had to think about the weapon of our choice which was a knife and the injuries that would come from it. We decided on painting a slit across her throat and face with blood dripping down. We thought about the conventions of a thriller and blood fitted into these aspects. Blood is highly associated with horrors or thrillers. Our choice of weapon was a knife, we thought the best way of killing the victim would be to slit her throat, or stab her.
