Costumes and Props

While planning our soap trailer we had to take into account the props and costumes we were going to use for the production. This was important because certain props represent different emotions and evoke different feelings. We wanted the actors to look professional and look like the characters they were playing so we used makeup and props ands setting.

The fighting scene- We needed to use dramatic makeup and dark clothing to indicate the fear and danger. Many college students wear hoodies, jumpers, jeans and joggers this means that our costumes used are the usual actor’s daytime clothes.

Props- We used mobile phones and references to social networking sites such as facebook. This suggests that we are targeting a teenage audience as many other people around this age range relate to their mobile phones and social network sites. We also used pratical props such as benches and beds and suitcases.
