Costumes and Props

For our thriller title sequence, we are going to need to use some props. The props in which we are thinking about using is a blueprint and also a smart phone. Below is an idea of the props in which we are going to use.

Blueprint:

A blueprint is going to be used when our character of 'Hugo' ( the criminal) opens this up onto the table in the cafe. This then leads into our title sequence. From searching different types of blueprints it has become noticeable that there is not one available to use. One reason for this is because we would like our blueprint to be of the Tower of London. Now that we have got an idea on the layout of blueprint, we will be able to base ours upon this. As a group we have decided that we are going to make our own blueprint and will be able to refer back to these two images to help us.

Smart Phone:

Another one of our props we have decided to use is a smart phone. From researching and looking at many different types of smart phones, it has become easy for us to decide which one we would like to use in our opening. The smart phone in which we are intending on using is an Iphone4. One reason why we have chosen to use this type of phone is because it is stylish and modern. It also fits in with the style we are trying to create and also matches the style of the criminal himself. This phone will also be easy to get hold of as Amy and Josh both have one.

Costumes:

In our opening for our title sequence, we will need to have two main costumes. One for the female role and one for the male role. From thinking about our character themselves, we have got some outfits in mind in which we might want them to wear. Below is a few images of the type of style and outfit we would be aiming for:

The Male:

 For the male character, we had in mind a black suit with a purple shirt and and open collar. By Hugo ( male character) wearing a black suit, it signifies to us a 'criminal' look. The purple shirt signifies royalty and also the wealthiness of a person ( in this case rich). This is a link to him stealing the crown jewels as they are royalty and also are worth a fortune. However the open collar makes him seem relaxed as well as still looking smart.

 The Female:

For the female character, we need her to be stylish and smart. As the female is working for MI5 she needs to look smart and intelligent. For this character we had in mind a black suit and a patterned top. To portray feminity we also would like the female to be wearing a skirt instead of trousers. This will hopefully create a smart and sophisticated look.
