Costume:
Teenager: Dark burgundy coloured shirt, tucked into smart dark grey trousers. He will have a black/navy t-shirt underneath visible through the few undone buttons at the top of his shirt. The smart shirt and trousers connote the teenager's professional nature, but the undone buttons and absence of a tie subtly connote that he is also unconventional - not entirely professional. The t shirt visible under his shirt serve to denote his resourcefulness, always warmly clothed and prepared. We will also use make up in order to achieve redness and then darkness under the teenager's eyes, connoting that the teenager could have irregular sleeping patterns as he is always hunting for his targets, and hinting at his dark and psychotic nature.
Sales assistant: Dressed in her black 'Spring Electrical' uniform, the sales assistant will look realistic for her role, intensifying the film, as it looks and feels more real. The darkness of the uniform will also reinforce the dark and cold mood of our film as black and darkness denotes evil and intensity when it comes to the thriller genre. She could also have her hair up, which tends to look more friendly on film as it connotes that she has nothing to hide, as she wouldn't have hair covering any of her face.
Daughter of sales assistant: Jeans and a bright jumper, her bright and more colorful clothing will contrast with what the teenager is wearing, making her seem more 'sweet' and innocent and easier to empathize with.
4th character/ shopper: Will be dressed casually, in jeans and a fairly dull/ plain T-shirt/ jumper (most likely a jumper or with a jacket, as it would cause a disparity in our film if he were to only be wearing a t-shirt despite it being Christmas time - which would be evident from the Christmas themed lighting). Glasses, a carrier bag. Just an average man going about his daily life.
Props:
Gun: Possessed by teenage killer, the gun's connotations are obvious - connotating that danger and violence is to ensue.
Photograph: Laid down onto the till by the teenager, the photograph introduces narrative enigma as the audience is unaware of who is on the photograph and why the teenager is looking for him
