Killer Costume
I originally had a few items in mind for how the killer in our film should look. Throughout the film, we don't want to blatantly show the killer in order to keep the mysterious aspect of the film and for the viewer to think of what it looks like. Regarding this, a very dark outfit is necessary and preferably a bulky one to not show the killer. One idea I had for this was for the killer to have a long dark cloak. This should keep the killer mysterious, similar to the outfit of Dracula, while not revealing any part of the killer. We will need to have a black mask as well to not reveal the face. The dark cloak also gives the wearer an unnatural appearance which is what we're aiming for.
Another Idea I had for the outfit of the killer is a completely black morph suit. My plan with this is to have the killer only appear when there is a completely black background so it acts as a shadow. The viewer will only be able to see slight movements of the killer which gives it its supernatural aspect. I think adding color to the killer will take away its unhuman appearance which is why I am only posting completely black costumes.
Background
The background of the setting is another important piece in a film. We need the appropriate colors to successfully represent a horror film. My intention is to have very little lighting. The only notable source of light in the film should be the television. I think that the environment should also be minimalistic so the viewer pays attention completely to the murder scene and not to background elements. Filming in a location with gray walls will be ideal, but if this is not possible we could just edit a dark background. An example of a minimalistic location is below. We could do something similar to this but we would film with dark lighting.
There are many other options for the costume and background but for now, this is what I have come up with. Tomorrow in class I will discuss this topic with Hayden and Abhriam.
