-War Medal
-Solider Uniform (hanging in wardrobe)
-Dog Tags

-Phone
-Mug of Tea
-Newspapers (added in on the computer)
-Ben’s Costume – white t-shirt, jeans (a normal daily outfit, again emphasising the fact that he is an average guy, therefore becoming more shocking when we discover that he is the killer. The colour white also means the dog tags stand out.)

The war signifiers are what the audience see glimpses of throughout the sequence, which shows them who he is and also makes them aware that he is the killer, after hearing the news broadcast on the television and seeing the newspaper headlines.
