CONNOTATIONS


Costumes


The costumes for our short film are rather basic as we did not want the audience to be taken away with what we were wearing, but to instead, be completely immersed in the action that is taking place. There are however some aspects of our choice of costume  that are intentional. Gabrielle (me) is wearing head to toe in black as it is important for her to seem mysterious. Black is a very deep and mysterious color that can also connote death and darkness. This will hopefully add to the questions that a successful thriller asks. 


Prop list


We in our drama pieces use paper with different writings and pictures on it so that they will not make sense to the audience, but will however, make perfect sense to the characters in the scene. We have also chosen to use a car as part of the setting as it is an everyday and totally normal thing that the audience will relate to. This will add to the questions asked as we wonder what is about to occur. 


Setting


We have chosen to use a field as a field is a very vague and a big place. the good thing about a field is the fact it is so big; we are able to obscure a lot of information from the camera. creating tension like a typical thriller
