Costume and Props (Archive)

 For the footage taken at the archives our actor is wearing a plain white shirt. This is because we don't necessarily want a very eye catching costume, as it could easily give the wrong impression to the audience. Our actor will be wearing the shirt with the sleeves rolled up to imply that they have been searching for the reel for some time. This will also make him look less formal.
 The same goes for using black jeans as part of the costume. They are nondescript and so the audience are instead encouraged to pay more attention to the content of the video.
 We decided upon using smart black shoes as they will look good when filmed as an extreme close up. Additionally the sound they create when going down the corridor is one we wish to incorporate in our video as it will add tension and suspense.
The leather satchel is going to be a prominent feature of our video. This is because Captain Al Hubbard always carried with him a leather satchel. We will also use it as something that binds all the story lines together.
The old film projector is a prop we used when filming at the archive. We chose to use this as it is quite an unusual prop and visually looks very good.





    The film reel is a crucial prop for our video, as the whole theme revolves around it. Although it is not featured frequently it is the prop that establishes the whole story line.
