Props & Costumes

Costumes

Hayden

Throughout the trailer Hayden is seen wearing a black jacket to represent that he is a stone cold killer with no remorse for killing. However, for the first part of the trailer, Hayden wears a grey t-shirt to show that he's working for the antagonists, however for the second half, his t-shirt changes to white, to show his change in sides, however he still wears the black jacket to show he is still a born killer.

 

 

Dr. Forrest

Dr Forrest will be wearing a lab coat to represent the fact that he is a scientist, especially because his name is never spoken within the trailer, or his specific role in the film, so the iconography of a lab coat instantly means the audience will understand his role quicker.

 

Target #2

Target #2 has no specific outfit, the only specific thing about him is that he will have blood covering his face like he's just been in a fight, so we'll just use ketchup to simulate this

Assassins

The assassins will be wearing dark clothing, the reasons why are because their faces never show up on screen and are only there for a few seconds, so their costumes aren’t as important, however, showing them in dark clothing represents that they are working for the antagonists in the same way Hayden was. However, the first fight scene shown has Hayden fighting a man in a white jacket, showing that the man he's fighting (unknown to Hayden) is a good guy.

 

Props

Guns & Watch

There aren’t that many props in the film; however the most common one used are guns, which are shown on multiple occasions. We have different gun props for each of the characters. Hayden will use a revolver gun while everyone else will be using a regular pistol. Obviously they aren’t real guns, they are toys, any gun shots will be added in during post.

The only other prop used in the trailer is Hayden’s watch; it is shown in the first shot of the film, and in several others. The reason why I have included this is because it represents the time travel aspect on the film. In fact the very first shot consists of a watch and a gun, which represents the two genres of the film, Science-Fiction (Time Travel) and Action.

 

Knife

The final prop is a knife, appearing several times in the trailer of assassins attacking Hayden, any old kitchen knife will be easy for the use, however this is where health & safety risks will come in with having a sharp knife on set, especially for action scenes. However we will be very cautious while using it to film the action scenes to make sure people don’t get hurt while using it.
