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.

Explanation of narrative and structure.
We intend to have several smaller story lines running through our main one. This, we hope, will help captivate the audiences attention and perhaps make them wish to watch the video more than once, in order to notice the smaller details.
Instead of having a linear plot line we intend to mess with the order of things, in doing this the audience is not completely aware of what is happening right until the end of the video. We hope that this will encourage them to watch it all the way through, and also make them pay closer attention and think about what it is they are watching.
Our video is going to begin in the 'East Anglian Film Archives' and then, after having part of the scene from there it will cut to one of the sub story lines (either filmed at the Cathedral, at my house, or at peters house). Following this it will then cut back to more footage taken at the archives. This structure will repeat up until the end of the video. By doing this nothing in the video stays the same for long, making it more visually interesting and holding the viewers attention for longer.
