So for our film, we plan on integrating some horror references/tropes through mise-en-scene elements like the knife the killer is using is a direct reference to the film the love witch, and the bomber jacket the killer wears is also a nod to classic 80s horror films.
The knife we plan on using is an old one that I had for a costume:
This knife also kind of resembles the one from scream so it will be another horror reference as well. But to be honest, I don't think it will really matter in the end since it's probably gonna be covered in blood anyways.
We are doing the whole masked killer thing just because obviously the character isn't stupid enough to kill someone with her identity being easily revealed so we went shopping and found a mask that we are painting to make it fit into our narrative.
This mask is one that could easily be found at any kind of costume store but we are painting mascara stains down its face to represent the extreme angst and sadness that the killer felt towards her ex-lover that she has killed. We are getting rid of the mustache obviously!! But we also plan on incorporating red colors into the mask to further reinforce the whole symbolism behind the character. Her strong themes of love and violence will be a part of every costume and prop that she wears.
