PROPS
- Probably the MOST important prop we will be needing in order to create our opening sequence is the chest or box we will be using for Pandora's physical box. We have looked online as well as in shops and found this one on Amazon. The measurements meet our requirements and the box is a unique and interesting design as well as looking fairly old, as the box was created by Zeus it would be very old. We may add extra destressing to the box once we have purchased it depending on what we think will look best within the trailer. 
COSTUMES
PANDORA
- The character of Pandora will be dress in a "hunter-like" costume which she wears when surviving in the woods. Using the internet I have managed to decide what this will look like. It will consist of trousers, for a legging like material, which will enable her character to move around but be paired with a top which is made of a flowing elegant material to connote her kind and soft nature and the idea that the violence which is often reflected in the trailer is not who she truly is.
- She may often be also wearing a black cloak, the black cloak will probably be within scenes where she is being violent or darker scenes. The black is meant to connote the evil which surrounds her, quite literally. I believe on the poster we will use her cloak, the combination of the soft top and the dark cloak is meant to represent she is a very confused and conflicted character who contains elements of both evil and good.

- Although these connotations are very subliminal, I have chosen to encode them so that hopefully they create a preferred reading about the character when the audience watches the trailer and they understand her character slightly more than they would without these hints.
SIDE KICK
- Pandora's sidekick will be dressed in a fairly plain outfit, I am thinking of trousers with either a plain black T-shirt or white t-shirt. The idea behind this is we have no idea about his character, and this therefore reveals nothing about his character and leaves the audience wondering if he is really good or bad or what his intentions are.
ASSASSIN
- The assassin which attacks Pandora and tries to steal the box will be dressed in black leather trousers and a black flowing top along which lots of straps tied around her arms to make her look rough. I am thinking of the actress having red hair, the red will connote danger. The black which covers her, especially if it is leather connotes that she is bad as black connotes evil.
OTHER CHARACTERS
- The only other charters within the trailer will be background characters which are involved in fight scenes. I will dress them in very plain costumes often with cloaks which will add to the effect of the fight scene with the material flying everywhere. The plain nature of their costume will make sure that during fight scenes they do not stand out against Pandora as she should always stand out as the centre of attention.
