Costume decisions
Looking at costume and what we need to organize it is quite simple for us as the opening scene is quite naturalistic. We are only using one person within this scene and he is going for a walk around the woods. He will just need to wear his normal clothes as if going to take his dog on a daily trip to the woods. We do not want him to stand out and just want him to bring an idea of realism. An example of this is the picture on the right.

What we have decided to do as a group is to go to a charity shop to buy a jumper and trousers, this removes the risk of damaging or ruining our actors personal clothes and it doesn't matter what happens to the. We have put one of our group members in charge of extra costumes, someone In charge of getting specific makeup to make the costume or make it better as well as people in charge of props and extras etc.

We thought that a possible backup would be to buy two sets of casual outfits from the charity shops. This way when dealing with fake blood we don't have to worry about the costumes being ruined as they were not expensive or personal items. And we have an extra outfit incase the blood goes anywhere apart from his hands. We only have 1 day to film, we don't ave time to mess up the outfit and not have a backup, this way we save time and its efficient.

Looking at the pricing and estimation of the costume budget, it is not super expensive as it is second hand. So will most likely cost 5-10 pounds. Which looking at the grand scheme of things, isn't a huge amount and is doable.  The mis en scene decisions we have made are important to our character as we want him to come across as 'normal'. We want him to be living a normal life, with a normal background so that the massacre has a huge effect and shocks our audience.
