Costume, Props, Setting, Mise-en Scene

Costume

Anthony Smith – Protagonist – He will have a mixture of two costumes. The first costume will be something he sleeps in at night a simple T-Shirt and Boxer shorts. This is to add some relaxation to the start when your watching. It also allows the male viewers to relate to him as its what men tend to wear when they sleep. When he gets dressed he will wear casual clothing so it allows the viewers to relate to him again.

Mike – Antagonist – Mike will be wearing mainly black. This is to hide his identity. This adds a sense of mystery of who he is.

Props – The Knife – The knife tells us that the antagonist brings some danger and makes us wonder what will the knife be used for. We see this knife in the point of view shot at the start and in the kitchen.

Black bags – The black bags are used in the parents bedroom and when the antagonist attacks the protagonist.

Setting – The whole setting is inside Mikes house. This is because we are treating it as a normal school day and it relates to the audience as its what everyone does.

Mise-en Scene – What makes this effective is the deafening silence followed by sudden impact of loud noises. The silence makes everything seem normal then the sudden impact of sound scares the audience.
