Costume and props

In our film our characters are wearing different clothing to show the importance of a specific character called ‘Lucy’ played by our talented actress Chloe Hicks. Chloe was wearing black jeans, black shoes, and a vibrant coloured button coat. The coat was a black and pink checked coat, we chose this so it would stand out from the other character and show the audience that she is the main character and focus of the scene. The other character 'Amelia' was wearing plain and simple clothing, to show she was less important than ‘Lucy’.

The main and only prop that was used was the girl’s phone, in which the mother calls to tell her to hurry home. This then panics ‘Lucy’ and has no choice but to venture through the woods. The phone adds tension to the scene as ‘Lucy’ is forced to go into the woods. 'Lucy' is looking around deciding which way to go feeling cold and worried a call comes through to break the tension. This immerse the audience as they feel like they are 'Lucy' and therefore empathise with her as she has to take the dreaded walk through the woods.
