The props involved in our title sequence was our costumes. They played a huge part as they reflected what type of character each actress/actor was, whether that was goody or bady.
This photo shows the different outfits each character wore.
Golden boy:
His outfit consisted of;
Golden tights
a Red bedsheet as a cape.
We chose this because it showed his 'good physique' off which would attract teenage girls into watching our film. The golden tights show a representation of his name. The red cape was used because of our audience research and the feedback we got from that. In our survey a question was asked 'In superhero films, which characters do you associate with the colour red? Goodies or Badies?' from this the majority of people chose the option goodies, so we used the colour red in alot of the goodies costumes to show their stereotype.
Blue Bolt:
Her Outfit was;
A bright blue top, with a black lightening bolt down the middle
Gold Hotpants
Black heels
Red Lipstick
Her name was chosen because of the outfit she wore, with the top being electric blue with a lightening bolt down it, there was no other name we could have called her. the electric blue is a primary colour, also known as a safe colour which is why we used this top for our goodie. She wears red lipstick because of our survey result as mentioned previously. The gold hot pants tie in nicely with golden boy so it shows theyre a team. The shorts were quite skimpy because we wanted young teenage boys to be attracted to blue bolt as she was an inspirational character also we wanted her outfit to attract people to watch our film.
Nitrous:
His outfit was;
A skin tight white top with a large blue smiley face on it
white boxers with multi-coloured smiley faces on
a blue mask
long socks
We chose the colour white because it represents purity and because he is a goodie we wanted to show him as pure. His power is to make people laugh so the colour white helps us see his personality as helpful instead of harsh (it would be harsh if we used the colour black). The blue smiley face on his top with a matching mask to show which team he was in as the smile dennotes happiness, but also the blue ties in with 'Blue Bolts' costume so its clear which characters belong to which team. he has a mask because it is a representation of a superhero therefore they would be identified as superheroes.
The Intimidator:
his outfit consisted of;
Black legginigs
Bright Yellow caution tape around his wrists
The colour black is very dark, therefore represents the baddies dark personalities. Also the black is stereotyped with goths who are seen as outcasts in society and people who dont necissarily do the right thing (rebels) which is another reason as to why we dressed the baddies in black. The yellow caution tape would draw attention to the baddies but it straight away tells people to be cautious of them. we chose little amounts of clothes as all The intimidator has a really good body and for audience purposes we wanted to show this off to attract people to watch our film.
Black Ice:
She wore;
A black leotard
Black leather leggings
Black heels
Bright yellow caution tape around her torso
black lipstick
Heavy black eye makeup
Again the extensive use of the colour black was so that the audience could identify her role, also so she was matching with her team. the name black ice also has the word black in it and was potrayed in the clothes she wore. Her black lipstick, in comparison to Bluebolts red, shows how unnatural the baddies were and 'unnatural' is seen as ugly in society, so would autimatically give off the impression that they were bad and not role-models. The caution tape was added as a sign of warning to the baddies, also showed theyre 'Gang' as it was common that all the baddies were wearing it.
Beefanator:
His outfit was;
Black leggings
Bright yellow caution tape
black eyeliner
his symbolic beefburger on the fron of his leggings
The black was used for the reasons listed before. The symbolic beefburger was obviously so he had his own identity also to relate ith his name and his physique as he is quite beefy. We hoped to our audience that this would have been seen as comical as it was taking the mic out of his appearance. the black eyeliner was to add harshness and also relate him to a goth. the representation that was given to him would have been tht he was really self centered as he walked around with make up on, his body out and his hair swept back, making the audience think that he is even more of an arse. society see's people like the beefanator as annoying and this is how we wanted him to come across.
Safety Cone:
This prop was used, because the caution cone matched the baddies costumes. Also the baddies had something to take their anger out on in the title sequence. this showed their true colours to the audience and made their characteristics identified. most baddies in films stereotypically are agressive and this is what we wanted to show.
