Costume and Prop ideas - Research

Costumes: 

The costumes we will be looking to use for the government agents, are based on the films researched like "men in black". They will wear full suits, which match to show they are part of a group or team of people. The suits show they have power and authority over members of the public. They will also wear the glasses seen in these films as well, as this starts the mystery aspect of the narrative as it covers their identity from the public.

The costumes we will be looking to use for the "protector" role, will be casual but at the same time will need to show show power as they are the hero at the end of the film. We feel we can achieve this by letting the protector wear normal jeans, this will juxtapose the suit trousers of the agents. The protector will also need to wear a big coat, like in the film "TAKEN" this could be to hide weapons or just to "bulk out" the character making them appear bigger sized and juxtaposed to the small girl.

Props: 

The props for the government agents are usually guns to protect them, and a MI5 badge or a badge to show their importance and power, if needed. They could also have earpieces like the film "Men In Black" to receive information from the governement.

The props for the protector will stereotypically include a gun also used to protect him and the female in distress, and in our film the use of a memory stick has great significance as this is the cause of the government agents chasing the protector and girl. These are usually seen in films that include government information  as it can be so easily displaced and can get into the wrong hands.
