Costumes and Props (Kathy)

For our opening we need: crime scene tape, handbag, dress for dead girl, high heels, table, lamp, suit for policeman (detective/ CID), posters

Firstly we needed to find some crime scene tape, which we did by looking on the internet sites, and in shops, which was all accessable and reasonably cheap, and then we discovered that the science department had some left over from when the Additional Appplied group last year did forensics.

The handbag we thought wasnt very important, apart from it needing to be a shoulder handbag so that it can be pulled close to the woman when the protagonist is going past.

The dress for the dead girl needed to be a party style dress, and preferably white, however jodie found a dress that was perfect but yellow, however the photos are in black and white, and after experimenting the dress looked white in the black and white camera setting.

The high heels needed to obviously go well with the dress, and also the heel needed to be easy to break, we searched a few charity shops and found a pair of black heels that would contrast with the white look on the dress.

The lamp and table are being used to film the photos. We are going to use jodies dining table, as it is dark mahogany and fitted best with an authentic look relating to CID, the lamp makes it look more mysterious and dingy yet so you can see the photos.

The suit again isnt important, as you can only see the man's arm and sleeve. We thought it was more important that the hands of the man looked older, so that it was more authentic.

For the posters jodie sent off for the mind ones and the rest we got from the internet or made from scratch. All these posters link into the opening in some way for example the give blood relates to the blood on the protagonists hand, along with the Macbeth theatrical poster.
