Costume and Props for Opening Sequence

COSTUMES:

Here is the outline for our costume for our opening sequence. It is based on Little Red Riding Hood's costume. We decided to place the character in a white dress. The white connotes her innocents and how pure and vulnerable she is as a character. The white also contrasts with the dark greens and browns of the forest making her stand out and attract the audiences attention, here is the dress we shall be using:

We have also created a red cloak from material we found at a market, this is Little Red Riding Hood's signature piece and we therefore had to include it to create a fair representation of how the character should look. Red connotes danger which gives as sense of foreboding about what is going to happen to her, this makes the audience want to carry on watching so that they can find our what happens to her character. It also connotes the idea of blood and violence which also adds to the idea of the film containing elements of horror and violence. 

PROPS:

We will not be using that many props within our opening sequence however we will need the following:

- pack of fairy cakes
- a glass bottle
- red food coloring (for fake blood)

FAIRY CAKES
We will be using fairy cakes as a contrast against the eerie background, it represents the characters innocence and childish nature. It is also part of the original story that Little Red Riding Hood was taking cakes and wine to visit her grandma so this follows that idea.

A GLASS BOTTLE
Again this is from the original story as Little Red Ridding Hood was taking wine to visit her grandma. This contrasts with the images of cakes as the bottle will be smashed and covered in the red wine which will look strangely like blood reflecting the violent nature of the movie.
