The props and costumes of Psychosis

These are the costumes and props I used during Psychosis, and why they were used. Some have been shown before (either in evaluation or separate posts) but I don't think I've put everything in one post.
List of costumes:
Shirts and trousers for Howard and Nicolas (usual non-uniformed attire for officers). The psychiatrist also wears smart clothing

Smart-casual clothing for Jane for Jane




More casual clothing for Roy


The costumes are likely to be worn by the real life counterparts. Ryan had more freedom with his costume, although because he is not a common criminal he would not be seen wearing jeans and a hoodie.
The props are not as symbolic, although they do have purpose.
The computers/Macs show busy offices and hard work, as do the files in the psychiatrists office.
The mobiles are used to communicate rather than landlines, partly because of the time the film is set, and also it would be the first place a person like Janet would try.
