Thriller Film Costumes, Props and Objects


Costumes, Props and Objects



The protagonist wears a basic grey t-shirt that has a bullet hole on the chest and a blood patch around the hole. We choose the colour grey to represent the protagonist's moral ambiguity.












The Protagonist is also wearing dark blue jeans, this suggests that he is seemingly in the eyes of the public an 'average guy'.














 Over the grey T-shirt, our protagonist wears a leather jacket, but only in the flashbacks of him getting ready. We choose a male leather jacket because it suggests masculinity and gives the audience the chance to make their own assumtions of the protagonist.















The Protagonist wears a pair of white trainers, we choose white trainers because he wears a grey T-shirt to represent moral ambiguity, the black jacket to suggest a dark side to him and the white trainers to represent purity, that he is a good guy so the audience can identify with him.








The antagonist wears a military style trench coat, this represents a man of action but has a sinister feel about him. The dark coat represnets evil so the audience can recognize immediately that he is a bad guy.













In our opening scene we only have two props, both of which are two handguns. Both the protagonist and Antagonist have guns, this shows that both characters are involved in crime and both are dangerous.

  1. There is some clear discussion of connotations/ meanings that could be constructed through the selection of mise en scene. References to other thriller texts would strengthen this blog post, but it shows an organised and thoughtful approach.
