Costune and Props

October 29, 2016 Unknown 0 Comments

The short fight scene in my trailer used two sword but due to health and safety, we used two blunt wooden sticks with taped handles. This will make filming the sequence a lot safer and the scene will utilises a long shot, therefore the audience will not be able to recognise that they're fighting with wooden sticks. The duck taped handles are also a safety precaution in order to stop any splinters and make it more comfortable to hold.

Main Protagonist

The main character in Aurora is a 17 year old teenagers - Nick Aries. Through mise-en-scène, we, as the audience, expect him to be wearing typical clothing which represent his age. This usually includes jeans, trainers and a jacket or hoodie. From the image above, you can see the actor is wearing dark blue jeans, trailers and a red jacket with a hoodie underneath.

Antagonist

The antagonists in Aurora wear dark clothing with no visible face. Instead, their faces are a red glowing ring which created an intimidating presence when they're about. Since using a glowing ring when filming will not be possible, I'll have to edit this is post production using visual effects. In the image above, we can see the use of the sword props which the antagonists will be using.
The dark black clothing indicate fear, violence and danger, which is what you'd expect from an antagonist.
