Costume, props and make-up planning

For my main antagonist (the next door neighbour) i am considering dressing him in a black hooded jacket/coat similar to the images below apart from it will be more of a raincoat than a hoodie. As i want the character to be shown as more mature rather than a youth hooligan. This character will be dressed like this to make him threatening to the audience and protagonists, also the hood with cover his face making him mysterious to the audience. He will also wear black leather gloves used to hide any finger prints he may leave behind, to make him more taunting.  I intend to get this costume from what is in and around my home, i know i have this costume available as i have used it once before in a project for another subject and it was very effective.



This shot shows the actor of my main antagonist wearing his costume: 

Although this image does not show the original idea of my character wearing a baggy black hoodie, I found a black hooded coat which I already had in my house and used this instead as I felt it would be just as effective as a hoodie. 

My main protagonists costumes will consist of normal day to day clothing such as jeans and t-shirts. I have decided to do this to represent my protagonists as normal people living normal lives making the audience aware that this kind of situation that my protagonists find themselves in could happen to anyone. 


The photograph above shows the costumes which my actors for my main protagonists wore on the day of filming. 

For my props i will be using a knife as the antagonists weapon of choice, however due to constrictions made by college and the examination board I could use a real knife on screen therefore I will have to use a fake, plastic one which I can purchase from a joke shop or costume shop. I will also use fake blood to imply the violence within my trailer, I will also be able to purchase this from a joke or costume shop. 


These photographs below show how I used the blood prop throughout my filming and photography.
