Above is an example of the use of costumes and props in our trailer. James' characters' costume was very carefully thought out in order to make him seem threatening and malevolent, but not over the top. We didn't want our audience to think that he looked completely abnormal, but we wanted them to associate his costume with evil and antagonism. Certain physical features that James already exhibited were kept, such as his 'devils horn' chin and his 'slender man' figure. These all added to his overall image. However, it was his costume that we spent more time thinking through. Philip had a large military trenchcoat that we used for his character; this made him seem like an ex-military character, which added to the threat. The coat suited him very well, and made him stand out, as he looked like a character from another era entirely. It also made him seem more mysterious, as the coat covers his whole body, making him look as if he's hiding something. The prop that is visible in this scene is the pistol. This was very easily acquired, as we bought it from poundland and simply spray painted it black, to make it look like a realistic weapon. In the shot above, you wouldn't be able to tell that it used to be a bright blue children's toy from a pound shop, but that is in fact what it was. Ironically, it adds to the production value of our film, even though we only spent £1 on it. The above shot makes him look ever more mysterious because of the dark lighting, where half of his face is masked in shadow. Zubasu behind him looks even more shrouded, as he is wholly enveloped in shadow.
