6) Lists of props, Costumes and locations

PROPS
1) One of the props we use is a sharp kitchen knife, which Charlotte holds after shehas killed
Amy. We decided to use this to show how she killed Amy, as the audience don't see this part. As it is a very dangerous object, we had to ensure it was wrapped up carefully, and no one in the public area saw us holding the knife. As it's a thriller we wanted to make it frightening therefore the knife is quite threatening and gives Charlotte power within her character, as this is a weapon she could use on anyone that gets in her way.2) Another prop is the victims purse holding change and identification cards like an oyster
forexample.
COSTUMES
1) Charlotte: She wears a white tank top, black leggings, and a grey hoody. We chose to put her in a white top so the blood and dirt would stand out as they're contrasting colours. Also these casual clothes will disguise the murder she did, in comparison to if she was wearing a baraclava etc. that
would immediately indicate to a
member of the public that someone was in danger or she is a criminal.2) Amy: This is very contrasting to
Charlotte's, as Amy is wearing a black dress, blazor, tights, and boots. However these boots are the same as
Charlotte's hinting they were friendsand hadthe same fashion sense together. The formal clothing hints that she was either going
out somewhere or was coming back from an event, in which Charlotte had known about to kill
her.
3) Jack: He is the only male in the opening, therefore his clothing was very different, and neat compared to the other two characters. This is to
show he was not physically involved in the murder however he may have helped her plan it and
hide the evidence after. Jack's costume is a red nylon jacket, a polo and casual dark trousers.
This emphasises the layed back attidude presented by these two characters and how strange that is. Maybe it could hint, they are usual murderers and this wasnt the first time this has
happened.

LOCATIONS
1) Beddington park river: This is our main location showing the dead victim and the
river which she's in. We chose to film here as its a quiet location therefore it will look more realistic to the viewer if there are less pedestrians and public in the area. The river also had a few patchy levels of stones, which was more practical for amy to lye in as it was very cold at the time to lye in the river.

2) The Murderers House: This is the location where the murderer clears up the evidence and goes home to hide what she's done, and think about the crime in which she's committed.
