Props and Costumes - Making the Film Look Realistic

In order to complete the aesthetic appeal of the film, we had to ensure that we had the right props and costumes. This is important as it adds to the realism of the film, which is the main objective. Realism keeps the audience interested and therefore they want to keep watching. We use a number of props in our film opening. One of which is an old banner, which reads "EVACUATE". This banner reveals part of the back story, and combined with the scripted radio broadcast which will be played over the image will provide a juxtaposition to the banner.



We also needed to sort out costumes so the characters look authentic. The dark clothes will also make the male characters appear more sinister and the shadows of the scene will envelope them in darkness.



We also needed a gun as the characters are supposed to be henchmen for the totalitarian dictator who will be power-hungry and controlling. It will also provide a weapon for one of the male characters who will kill the other male character.
