Props, costume and make-up

Our Prop List:

Weapons

We want to showcase a futuristic set of weapons in order to set the scene of Limbo entering a video game. This helps us to give the audience an image of what type of game he was playing before he became a part of it. In order to achieve the look of a futuristic gun, we decided to use either an airsoft gun or a nerf gun.

Game Console & Controller

We will be using a Playstation 4 and its controller as it in itself looks quite futuristic. Although it is not shown, Limbo will be playing GTA V in order to achieve a sense of reality that he is actually playing a video game.

Headset & Microphone

In order to add to the "futuristic" feel, we will also be utilising a light up headset which is aesthetically pleasing and will most likely entice the audience further. We will be using a headset that has a microphone built in which will allow Limbo to communicate with the online players.

Background Environment

Limbo is going to be playing playstation in his room so we will have to arrange for a bedroom to be used to give that house-like feel. This will have to include the typical "essentials" such as a bed of course, a cupboard, chest of drawers etc.

Sourcing our Props

We will be sourcing our props from online retailers such as Amazon and Ebay due to the large variety of products they have to offer. Not only that, but their pricing is also very competitive in comparison to street retailers. This is an advantage for us as it reduces our production costs and increases our profit bracket.

Costume

In our opening sequence, Limbo will be dressed in a t-shirt and pyjama bottoms, complimented with a dressing gown on top. This will give the audience the feel that he is at home, comfortable and it's quite late. This aids us to create the picture for the audience that he is playing video games late at night like typical teenagers.

However, as Limbo is warped into the video game, when he meets Li face to face, he will be wearing a special superhero like outfit.

The finished product

Li - The Helper

As a group, we discussed that Li should be dressed formally as it suits the face of the character, due to him being the helper. Therefore, we decided that Li will be dressed in a navy suit accompanied by a red tie. This attire fits perfectly as it shows his status.

Li's attire will look similar to this
