Group meeting - 4
Today we continued planning our opening sequence, but this time focused on costume and props. We didn't want to just use any old t-shirt and jeans for the characters, but have costumes that would all symbolic and have strong stereotypical connotations. We chose to protagonist in a dressing gown, partly because her sketch was based around a bath time scene, but also because we believed this attire made her seem more vulnerable, innocent and easily harm-able. For our 'pedophile' or antagonist, we opted for a luminous jacket, scruffy jeans, white top, and muddy boots, to create a dirty, rough looking character, but also by use of the jacket to show he was meant to be somebody this girl could 'trust', a professional, but clearly contradicted this expectation; the 'disguise' of this workman's jacket also to us screamed out bright colours, flashing danger in the girls face, additionally the associations people generally have with builders or work men would make the character immediately give off a the sort of impression we aimed for, rather than if we had placed them in a suit. We also decided that the other children where to wear school uniform, once more to highlight their age and innocence, and set them apart from our main character, in order to show and establish her importance within the opening sequence.
