Mise-en scene

Costume
The kidnapper (Charlie) will be dressed in very dull, restricted clothing that isolates him from the surroundings. This will cause him to seem unusual to the audience, and hints at the possible psychological themes of our narrative. It will be very important for him to wear a hood or hat that will cover his face, giving him a disguise and reserved feel. The inspiration for this character comes from some of the elements of the Joker in "The Dark Knight". There is a simple image of the Joker below, and shows the correlation in kidnapper themes, psychological disorders and disguise. I have also decided upon distanced camera shots or very obscure angles as this will cause uncertainty. Below is also an image of the expected 'hooded' look for our kidnapper.

The students will be dressed in casual clothes, which could easily be provided by ourselves, The students will be dressed fairly smart because they are attending university. One character could possibly were a smarter jumper, and other could have some glasses - just little touches to add to the over affect of our mise-en scene. These costumes help to fit in with the character roles.

Props
There will be several props needed:

• Bags
• Books
• Mobile phones

The kidnapper will not need another props and the costume is the main concern of the character, they have no weapons so this is another reason why not. The students however must appear as normal and student-like as possible, therefore they will need bags and other common items.
