Props and Costumes.

The props and costumes which are shown within my opening sequence are extremely important as they set the scene and allow the audience know to know the social class of the characters.

Props
The props within my opening sequence consist of the following:
- Telephone
- Laptop
- Makeup wipe

The use of the telephone is very conventional throughout horror films, it adds to the effect of suspense and creates extreme tension. In this case, it shows the audience that Sophie is extremely worried and upset when she realises her mum could be in danger.

The laptop is used simply to show that Sophie is unaware anything bad is going to occur. She is happy in her room talking to her friends through her laptop.

A make up wipe is used for Sophie to take her makeup off! like the laptop, this has no real meaning to it, just to portray that Sophie intends this evening to be just like every other night.

Costume
I only have one character who is introduced within my opening sequence, this being Brogan who is known as Sophie. Sophie is portrayed as a normal, down to earth, everyday school girl, therefore the clothes which she wears needs to be kept simple and to the point, this will then convey that what is happening to Sophie can happen to anyone! aswell as making it seem realistic.  I think Brogan will be wearing either leggins or black jeans, with a simple plain top.
