Props and costume preparation

In Lynch's films, he always seems to have two female characters: a brunette femme fatal type character with seductive, dark outfits, and a more innocent and sweet blonde character who wears paler, girly outfits. This is to represent the two parts of the human mind - the moral and the tempted. As a typical Lynch convention, I think it's a good idea to use this in my film, and so I will have two female characters who fit these categories. 

I therefore have bought a floral dress and blonde wig for one character, and a dark red, tight dress for the other character, as I fit these will fit the stereotypes well.

The male character in Lynch films always tends to be well-dressed and authoritative in some way - usually dressed in a suit. I have therefore got a black suit for my male character to have, and in my script try and make him adopt this kind of persona. Thinking of the film noir style in Blue Velvet, and my idea of death being a theme, he could be the leader of a gangster mob perhaps.

In terms of props, as forementioned a telephone is a common piece of production design used in these films. This is a good way to get information across between characters, but also as a metaphorical way of connecting worlds together. I thus decided to use one in my film; I happened to have a pale, unique old-fashioned telephone which I thought would work well, as the sets in the films seem to be quite fancy and ornate, and so I plan to use this within my script somehow.
