Props and Costumes.

To achieve the impression of a 50's Film Noir, correct props and costumes are important, with any modern props (mobile phones, headphones etc) breaking the look. To complile a list of props I read through the plot and noted which devices and equipment our characters use. The same goes for our costumes.

Barnaby Frisco


Grey Blazer - Smart, typical clothing of a detective. Grey hints that there are grey areas in the characters life/background.

Black Shirt - Black often represents evil. While Frisco is not all evil, he has done bad things in his past to warrant him as evil.

Grey Trousers - Same as the grey blazer, and also to match with his outfit.

Adriana Frisco


Black Dress - Seductive and suits her role as the Femme Fatale.

Locket - An important plot device to drive the films plot forward. Shows her higher status as jewelry often did in the 50's.

Fur Coat - Highlights her upper class. Classy and keeps with the 50's fashion.


Black Shoes - Matches her Black dress.

Bones Goodwin


Grey Blazer - Links him to Barnaby through the same color clothes. Showing they where detective partners and shared the same background.

White Shirt - Incredibly Ironic. White suggests innocent, pure character. Hints that Barnaby is the bad guy, as he wears Black. Innocent as he was shot by Frisco who was in a Jealous rage.

Walking Stick - Highlights his injuries sustained by Frisco, shows vulnerabilities and weakness.
