For our opening we need to think of the outfits we are going to put each character in and also the hair and make up which will be styled for them. This is important to the mise en scene section of media, as it will show that we have thought about what the characters will look like and how we are going to represent the activity they are doing or the kind of person they are. Instead of uploading images of the exact outfits each character is going to wear, we can use images of the internet which show the look which we will be going for, the we will base our own outfits around the images we looked at.
There are 7 characters in our opening, some who are more prominent than others.
Casual look for babysitter
The main characters who we will be introduced to is the first girl who is babysitting, the killer and the final girl who goes on her run. Alongside these there is also the younger sibling being babysat, the parents of the girl who dies to begin with and the news reporter.

Girl babysitting at beginning
This girl is babysitting at home, so she is very casual and not in the slightest dressed up. Her hair will be put up to show that she is relaxed and comfortable, and her make up will be minimal, so again she is looking natural. To represent her being casual in her clothing we are going to have her in possibly pajamas to show she' simply lounging around, or loose, baggy clothes e.g. loose-fitting jumper to again emphasize the fact she is comfortable etc. We can combine the two of these ideas to create the best look her her. On the right is an image showing the casual look we could go for, though not identical, the baggy top with leggings shows her not paying too much attention to what she is wearing.

Girl on Run
 
Girl on a run
The girl who goes on a run will of course be wearing running gear, but taking into consideration the temperature we will be filming in we will decide carefully what the character will be wearing. Firstly, the girl will either be in running shorts/skirt or leggings with a loose fitting top as these will combine to show she is simply just going on a run. We will have a choice of giving her a jacket to wear also which of course will depend on the weather. She will also be wearing normal running shoes so that she simply looks like a girl going on a run.
