A knife ankle holster will be worn by the Lara Croft-Esq character as she visibly presents herself in a threatening yet practical manner.
The feminine character will wear a concealed thigh holster under skirts and dresses.
These are both typical action film props however they are usually utilized by men or on the occasions that women use them, as a gimmick. I hope to move away from this and subvert the genre in the way I use its stereotypical props.
These are the types of fake guns I hope to use, the sniper will be used on the overpass scene and the pistol in many scenes but most notably the opening chase. They are both commonly used in action films, therefore conforming to the stereotypes.

Well done Katy, you have several key ideas for your film trailer so far and have considered the setting, costumes and tag lines. Try and complete the following posts this week:
1. Location research – include google earth images and pictures you have taken.
2. Description of the actors and interviews
3. Prop research and analysis
4. Questionnaire and feedback on your initial ideas
- Over shoulder
- Tracking
- Low angle
- High angle
- Establishing shot
- Two shot
- Close Up
- Long Shot
It is important that this alley connects to a road as I hope to include my main character attaching a listening device to a moving car.
Most of these titles were put together using spy terminology which I gathered online. My favourite ones are The Take, Burned and Honour of Duty.
Main - More traditional spy clothing, eg suits/catsuits
Others- One could dress in everyday casual clothing like jeans, one in feminine dresses, waistcoats?, Shorts with thigh holster (think Lara Croft)
