Treatment- Costume and Props

Costume

The False Antagonist (Janna), will be wearing a suit with a long black jacket. This is because it will give the impression of intelligence, thus making him a threat. The costume will be dark to symbolise the antagonist stereotype,  to help the audience identity him as a main character and will be fooled in believing the red herring.

The waitress (Grace), will be wearing a smart working dress and an apron, showing that she is working for the café. The audience will easily identify this as it is stereotypical work wear for a waitress.

The customer ( Lisa), will be wearing casual wear as she symbolises the typical rural citizen living in the village. This casual wear will include things like green wellies and stereotypical country wear of a plaid shirt and green jacket.

The pushed pedestrian (Laura), will also be wearing casual teenage wear, as she symbolises the stereotypical moody teenager. Therefore she will be wearing a    hoody and jeans.

Props

One of the main props we will be using is a briefcase, which the false antagonist will be carrying as it plays a significant role in the opening sequence. The briefcase will be black, making it look rather suspicious and adding to the idea of the antagonist being a business person.
 We will require a ham sandwich, which will be hidden within the briefcase, before it is revealed within the last scene of the opening sequence.
We will also have plastic cups, a tray and a bottle of water. This will act as the waitress' props, to show she is serving customers. The plastic cups will be filled with the water and placed on the tray. This is thrown on the customer as the antagonist walks into the waitress, showing his suspicious interactions with other characters.

We will also be making a fake bomb out of cardboard boxes, old wires, blu tack, tape, brown wrapping paper and a timer. This will be used in shots to build tension and ultimately the cause of the detonation of the train.
