Props/Costume

For our mise-en-scene we managed to create a double bed out of two single beds by pilling on many pillows and duvets! We had to strip the room of all photo's and posters that didn't set the scene. However, we left a beetles poster up and placed a record player on the shelf to insinuate that the partner who has been killed was a music fan. Along with this, we set up a make up table to show that the room is unisex and a couple live in it.

We chose a suit as the costume for our actor to be getting changed into. This is because it had a sophisticated feel and made him look like he was in control of the situation and knew what he was doing. We also had some ideas about nice shots which we knew we could get of the tie and the buttoning up of the shirt, for example. We had a gun and a passport layed out on the dressing table. The gun represented danger and violence, whereas the passport displayed the possibility of stolen identity or escaping. Another prop we used was a mirror, which we used for quite a few shots. This one to show how the man likes to take care of himself and even though he is in a rush for time, he still manages to make sure he looks good.
