The use of costume & props & makeup is a part of mise en scene. Mise-en-scène means the arrangement of scenery and stage properties in a play. It's made up of 5 elements. They provide key information in front of the camera that communicates crucial information to the audience.
Costume, hair and makeup act as an indicator that allows the viewers to identify characters personality, job, and status in society. Likewise, costume and makeup may imply the role of the characters in the film. This is because certain costume and makeup are associated with a specific character in a particular genre.Additionally, it also informs what time era film is set and what society the film is based around.
Furthermore, props provide extra information about a character allowing the audience to learn more about them. In addition, props can also be a part of a character's costume for example masks to conceal the identity of antagonist or weapons used by the killer. In horror, the antagonist usually has one specific weapon to symbolise the character. This then helps the audience recognise them through the film.
Costumes are a good indicator to inform the audience where and when the film is set.
In our opening two minutes the costume for our protagonist (Ivy) will be Pajamas/Nightwear. The costume reveals the time and setting of our film home late at night. This is because Pajamas are clothing made to sleep in hinting the period of time and location.
Furthermore, the Pajama's imply protagonist Ivy is cosy, snug and warm in the comfort of her home. The colour of the costume is white/neutral to suggest venerability of our protagonist/victim. In addition white connotes pure, innocence and youth. Moreover, the colour is very visible. This highlights the significant role of Ivy’s character in our film.
Our protagonist's hair will be down and neatly done to make her look youthful.Furthermore, her make-up will be minimal and simple.
The protagonist hair and make-up in horror films is always nicely done at the beginning of the film in order to make them look appealing to the audience. Towards the ending near the protagonist death is when they appear rough and untidy. To show the protagonist had hard time trying run away from the antagonist to avoid death.
Our antagonist will be wearing loose black clothing to hide the character's identity from the protagonist and the audience. Likewise, it also creates enigma and suspense because the loose costume doesn’t show any definition of the character's body. However, the viewers will be able to identify and recognise the antagonist due to the costume.
The appearance of the character is important in films as it will determine if the character is good or bad.
In order to frighten the audience, our antagonist needs to look the part.By using special effects makeup it will make our antagonist believable and fearful to the audience. Furthermore, make -up adds detail to the character to make the antagonist appear scary and threatening.
We will use special effects make- up on our antagonist to create burnt skin. It's common in horror films for the antagonist to be disfigured, unattractive or scarred.
