props, locations, costumes
Props:
→ A Knife – covered in blood to show that it’s the murder weapon.
→ Home Phone – this when Carly leaves the message, almost a way to help the audience at what is happening.
→ A Ring – On Jays finger showing that he is the victim at first then cutting to his normal life.
→ Books, Paper, Glass & Picture Frame – shows that one of the characters is an artist and the titles will appear on them e.g. producer, composer, etc.
Costumes:
The death scene:
→ Jay will be covered in blood and mud, the clothing, which was fancy will also be ripped showing that something bad has happened to him, and this can make the audience think about what has happened and why would it happen.
→ The two killers Carly and Will would be in dark clothing almost to show that they are hiding something.
The house scene:
→ Jay is wearing normal, everyday clothing to show the viewer that nothing is wrong and doesn’t hint at that he will be murdered.
Locations:
→ River/Woodland – This location is where the murder scene is and it’s a nice place for the opening of a thriller as it creates a sinister atmosphere making the viewer question at what has happened. Also, the woodlands can suggest that the death scene is empty; it’s a vast space where no one could help Jay.
→ House (bathroom/bedroom) – This location almost breaks the creepy, sinister atmosphere and bringing the mood back too an everyday life, which makes the viewer feel a lot more comfortable.
