Costumes and Props

 

In the first scene, the father figure / brother is sitting on a bench while a time lapse takes place while the sky changes from blue to a hazy sunset. His clothes will be dark and plain as he shows little emotion, and black also represents danger. His clothes may be scruffy as he has let himself go due to the loss of his daughter / sister. Droopy eyes show lack of sleep aswell.

The girl in the corner will be wearing clothes that are either 'normal' to show that she is an average girl who the audience can relate to, or black as it symbolically shows danger to the audience.

 The main majority of the opening scene will be at cuckoos hollow on a chosen bench looking out of the lake. We will be using a photograph of the girl and the public bench as our props. One of the scenes features the main character 'drowning his sorrows' so we will also be using a beer bottle which along with his stumbling shows to the audience that he is drinking/drunk.
