Props/Costume

Props;

Kitchen Knife -

A kitchen knife was used for when the killer comes out of the bathroom, after watching Fred for a period of time, and uses the knife to seemingly 'kill' Fred, yet it isn't shown whether or not if Fred is dead, it's just shown the killer coming out the bathroom with a knife. 


Car -

We needed to use a car for the opening shot of sequence and for when Fred turns up at his home after being out in his car. 
Without the car, the opening shot where the titles are being displayed on screen wouldn't happen, and wouldn't make for as good title shot, as by being in the car, with the killer driving away (audience not knowing it's the killer driving) it has the sense of curiosity in the titles. 

                              

Wooden Chair -

A simple wooden chair is needed for when Fred comes across it and finds tape wrapped around the arms and legs of it, to suggest someone was trapped and stuck to it but broke free. 

Duct Tape -
The duct tape is used in cooperation with the wooden chair, where duct tape is put around the legs and arms of the chair to suggest to Fred that someone was taped to the chair beforehand, and that either they broke free or were released. Fred also goes up to it and tries to rip it off and inspect it, which is when the killer 'meets' Fred.








Costume;

Killer Costume -
For the killer's costume, I decided to go for a look that would show the killers mystertious and curious look and actions by dressing him in all black from head to toe. The long black overcoat is a menacing look especially with black latex gloves added into the costume, which further indicates the intimidating and plain look to the figure of the killer.
By having the killer dressed in all black, it seperates them from other characters and how they are dressed in the film. As no one else in the sequence is dressed similarly, which makes the killer stand out with their dark look, whislt also being quite anonymous.


Fred's Costume -
Fred's costume isn't especially important or relevant in terms of how fred is depicted and portrayed in the sequence by how he looks and what he wears. This is why Fred is given simple, casual attire to wear for the opening sequence, as there is no need to think into how the character dresses majorly as Fred is a minor character in the opening sequence. Thus why a  simple, meaningless look is given to the character.
