The very beginning phase

   The first thing we have to do to prepare for our filming is brainstorm ideas. Making an into to a film is not easy, and requires a lot of parts to do it properly. The costumes that we end up wearing have to match the genre of the film. For instance, horror films are unique in this sense. The antagonist of the film should be wearing something entirely different from the protagonists. The killer must look scary so that the audience fears him. The other characters must look like every day people, so the audience can sympathize with them. The killer's clothing should be worn, stained, and grotesque to look at. Examples of this are Jason Vorhees from the series "Friday the 13th". He was underwater for a long time so his clothes are normally drenched and muddy. The hockey mask he wears is also weathered. Another example would be from the movie "Nightmare on Elm Street". Freddy Krueger uses a glove with blades attached to mutilate his victims in their dreams. This prop is very old and rusty. Props are also something to think about during the making of this film. These are what could potentially make a film iconic. Jason's machete and Krueger's blades are staples of the horror genre. If we want to distinguish our film we should consider using unique props for this purpose, as well as others. It is indeed grim discussing what we will pretend to murder each other with while filming, it is a necessary evil to make a film that could make an impression. Especially important in the first two minutes of it.
