Protagonist Costume and Props

There will be various costumes and props which will be needed during the production of our film, especially for the protagonist. In the opening scenes of act 1, being inside school, we will use Gabriel's school uniform as it looks smart and resembles that of an office situation. This means that when it comes to filming in central London for the opening shots we must have him wearing the same things. Images of this costume are shown below. 


After this, during the raid scene, he will be wearing all black as is typical among films of the genre. This includes black jeans, a black crew neck with a black or white shirt underneath and possibly a bullet proof vest if we can get a hold of one. This will be constant among the next few scenes where he is on the run as he would not have gone home. 


In terms of props, the idea of having a gun is essential for the film, however with the majority of filming being done on the south bank this may be difficult due to ethical and practical issues. Because of this we will attempt to do the majority of filming in relatively empty areas, as well as taking shots both without guns and with to keep the narrative consistent. This decision also came about because of how tacky some student films can look when using a pistol.
