. CLOTHING/MISE-EN-SCENE

This is the outfit chosen for our villain 'Lilith' as you can see her shirt is covered with splatters of blood created with a 'fake blood' product we purchased. The blood on the shirt, represents the fact that our villain is 'back from the dead', the colour red is always identified as connoting danger encouraging the audience to be cautious of her. We placed a lot of importance on not just using a shirt with no blood on it because we needed to communicate that Lilith was a dangerous character, with violent tendencies.The blood was extremely significant to the role of Lilith and so we ensured blood was used on the back of 'Lilith's shirt and also on her face in the form of scars and tears. The gorey make up added an element of menace to the character of Lilith, but also may be an indication of how she died.

Above you can also see that the actress Dawn, who plays Lilith has on a 
pair of 'Timbalands' which are clearly unacceptable for the mise-en-scene acceptable for a horror villain, so we ensured we filmed her from the knees up in all but one of the scenes where we asked her to remove her shoes.

To the left is an image of myself, here you can see I am wearing an antique necklace, which acts as the main focus of our narrative and the prop that drives it forward. As the main character in the narrative, this necklace and I are closely linked due to the events that take place during the trailer. This necklace was supplied by Dawn, as the antique appearance could be closely correlated with the gothic theme of the genre we were able to identify that it was an appropriate piece of mise-en-scene.
