Costumes, Actors, Props

This is taken from catherines blog, she has writen up the work we had done. we all contributed to casting and ideas for props and costume.





Main character: Teenage (16/17) girl. Medium height, curvy.
- A short tight body con skirt.
- A tight blank vest top.
- Black fish net tights?
- Coloured high heels?
- White Handbag.
- Blue layered thin jacket.
- Make-up: Pale face with with smudged dark red lipstick, black mascara smudged around eyes and a few streams down the face with a slight hint of coloured eye shadow.

We wanted this costume and make-up to make sure that the young girl looks like she has just been to a party, yet at the same time looks as though she has had a rough night the night before. By having ripped tights it looks as though the young girl has been in some sort of trouble and by matching this with running make-up and a pale face, she will look upset and scared.

Elle Pemberton - 17.

Elle is a part of an acting group named Rama and therefore I thought she would be a good actress for our piece. She has been a friend of mine for a while and I knew I could trust and rely on her. Also, her experience was a great advantage for us.



Rapist: Older guy (19/20). Medium height, slight muscle.
- Dark skinny-ish jeans.
- Green t-shirt.
- Large Nike trainers.
- Longish dark hair.



Jake Frost - 17.

Jake is doing A level Drama at George Spencer College. Because he also has experience and is a good friend of mine, Rob's and Aidan's it was easy for us to be able to rely on him and also to be able to easily ask him to help us out.



Props
We also need just a few props for our film. There aren't very many because it isn't the props that actually explains how the film works out, it's more the answers.
Therefore we will only need:
- Keys: for when Ellie will open her front door to get home and feels a hand on her shoulder.
- Bottle: for when Ellie takes a swig in a flashback to show the audience that she had been drinking and could be quite drunk.
- Bag: for Ellie to search through to find her keys when she gets to her front door and also just generally because teenagers carry handbags.
- Tights: not just costume as it is a prop for one of the scenes in the piece when Ellie takes her tights off just after she has been raped.
