In our opening…

The girl in our film was made to look innocent and vulnerable this was represented by the use of white clothing- we got our actress to wear a white dress.

She also wore sensible shoes and bows in her hair to make her appear young and vulnerable.

A red bow in her hair helps to make her appear young

The detective in our opening

We included some conventional detective props such as the cigar and the long dark coat.

However, to complete the look of a detective we could have used other props such as a notepad, hat or a detective badge
