The set: Costume and props.

 A set's costumes and props make the production and characters what they are. The audience can tell a lot about a character judging on what they wear, and the things they use or hold close to them. While the production's setting and mood could be established by the character's attire as well. Today, I will be going over my sets props and costume!

When I say a character's design costume and prop wise can speak for them I am not kidding! Look no further than these two famous slasher franchises, them being Friday the 13th and Scream.

(Halloween, 1978)

(Scream, 1996)

What is so special about these 2 movies and there set design though? Lets go over it starting with the franchises main antagonists, Michael Myers and Ghost face.

 

(Michael Myers)

Michael is the main antagonist of the film Halloween known for terrorizing the fictional town of Haddonfield every Halloween and sports a grayish green jumpsuit with an expressionless white mask and a kitchen knife. From first glance the audience can already tell he is the main antagonist of the film through his concealed face and overhand grip on the knife. The main and most iconic part of Michael's costume is the mask. The reason being, it symbolizes Michael Myers as a emotionless killer through the white and blank expression on the mask contradicting his jumpsuit but some how also complementing it despite opposing colors. This costume and signature kitchen knife belongs to the one and only Michael Myers making it an excellent costume design.

(Ghost face)

Now lets talk about Ghost face. Unlike Michaels unique look to him and him only the thing that makes the Ghost face scary is that anyone can be him. He sports a black robe and white mask in a scream like state and is as easy to acquire as going to the costume store. Throughout the Scream franchise we have seen several masked killers all wearing the same costumes. This makes the costume extremely iconic and worn almost all the time during halloween! 

The goal of these costumes are to establish the character along with the items they use.

In my case the scarecrow's main costume design is with a rather torn and tattered clothes with a sack like mask resembling a scarecrow. Why is this? The scare crow is building something beyond comprehension and wont let anyone stop him. He scares away and deals with anyone interfering with his progress just like a scare crow. He uses the all different types of tools to his advantage and wont let anyone see what he is creating.
