Mise-en-Scene

Nat's Bathroom
I briefly discussed costuming already, but here is a refresher. The character who gets killed (me) will be wearing something along the lines of a strapless bathing suit. We need to convey the illusion that the character is actually taking a shower, in order to make the sequence more realistic. The killer will be in the stereotypical black clothing, with the face covered to keep the identity of the killer unknown for the sake of the movie plot. I think blood falls in the costuming category, due to the fact that I will be wearing blood for a good portion of the introduction. We will probably make some fake blood at home, due to limited monetary resources. We’re also going to need to make some that doesn’t stain, so that we don’t make as big of a mess. But, with the opening taking place literally in the bathtub, it will at least be easy to clean no matter what. The main thing will be making sure that no skin gets stained-- I do not want to be red for days.

Lighting is going to be a very important part of our film. Filming in the early morning, late evening, or at night is going to be pretty crucial, because it will add to the hype of the events. I think we are planning on meeting up sometime in the evening, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Props are also important. Everything in the bathroom is basically considered props, because they are making the setting realistic. We don't want a bare, extremely clean bathroom because in reality, there probably aren't any teenage bathrooms that are spotless. Although I discussed blood in relation to costuming, it also can be considered a prop, just because it's adding an effect. In addition, whatever murder weapon that is utilized will be ultimately the most important prop. It is basically the center of the introduction, because the movie in its entirety revolves around the aspect if the murder weapon.
