Costumes and Props

PROPS:

The first half of the film opening is set in the doctor's office. The atmosphere is full of tension as David doesn't want to be there, or deal with the issue at hand whereas the Doctor's job is to help him. To create a sense of unease and to portray David's state of mind, the room will be almost completely bare. The only props will be a desk to create a sense of authority for the Doctor. The desk will be devoid of any mess; it will hold only some neat piles of work as well as a computer.

COSTUME:

As David is a teenager, he will be dressed informally to create verisimilitude. To make his frame of mind more obvious to the audience, David's costume will be faded and wrinkled. His costume will fall in sharp contrast with the Doctor who will be outfitted in professional attire.

LIGHTING:

All of the film opening will have natural light but it will be filtered so it'll be slightly darker than normal. The use of natural light will create verisimilitude while the slightly dark light will create tension in a very subtle way.
