Analysis of Props/Costume/Makeup in similar films




Costume and make up - Girl interrupted
In this film, Angelina Jolie wears pale makeup with dark makeup under the eyes and cheekbones this makes her look ill which portrays how mentally unstable she is. She wears dark, dirty clothes and a scruffy haircut which also creates the image that she is mental and she blends into her surroundings. She also has a cut on her forehead in this image which gives the impression that she may be a danger to herself and others. This links to our film as Katherine is living in a mental institute and we plan to use similar make up and costume when filming in order to make the mental institute scene look realistic. We also plan to use other costumes within the film such as the uniforms of the staff within the mental institute. They usually wear white outfits which is what we are going to use within our film in order to make it look realistic and so that the central focus in on Katherine when there are scenes within the mental institute.




Props
A typical prop within horror/thriller films are diaries. Writing can have a scary effect and a common scenes that this genre uses is when a possessed person/ghost tries to write to communicate with the real world, and this is seen in Insidious and Woman In Black. We are going to us writing within our film which is a letter from the mother that has died. However we aren't using it in a stereotypical was as we are only using the letter to set up the storyline that lead to the sisters having a traumatic experience.
