Account of props

The first and most important prop in my opinion was the costume of our actress and the make up. A white washed out feminine dressed was used for our actress this was perfect as it created a ghostly figure and added a huge sense of realism, the style of the dress was slightly old fashioned which furthered the realism as a modern day dress would not have the same effect. The make up we used was very whit and pale for the face and Smokey black for the eyes which also worked extremely well. We used a computer as a prop and lights this worked well as it revealed how evil can interfere with technology. These where the only props used as we tried to keep it as natural as possible to increase the realism.


The costuming for the shoot was fairly basic. We had decided that in order to portray a very ghostly look that our main character (the ghost girl) would just be dressed in a white floaty dress we agreed this costume would be best for her to portray her ghostly-ness, she also had her hair back brushed to make her
Ghost like. Our other characters (the girl in the bedroom) was dressed in normal clothes although she was dressed in all black this was challenging the stereotype of good person white clothing, bad person black clothing. We did this because we wanted her to look as natural as possible, and we figured this was the best way to do it. The second person (man at reception) we had asked to also dress as if he was going to work, the reasons for doing this were the same as the previous character, and we wanted him to look as natural as possible.
