Prop Planning

When thinking about props we need to try and put things in the scene that are almost old, this is because we are doing an old scene at an old location we need to think very carefully about our plot and the props we will need to make this plot seem realistic. As our plot surrounds a boy who was left in a fire by his father when Nocton Hall burnt down we need to consider this fire. We have done this by burning some of the photos we are going to use and making sure they look old and realistic to this time period by coffee staining them and crumpling them up.
Also to make this scene more realistic we need to make sure we think about what the boy in the chair is now wearing, we have considered putting him in old RAF costume to give the scene a sentimental scene, that he is wearing his father's RAF uniform, is a weird yet wonderful gesture to his farther.


We are then going to have an old television in the room, maybe some kind of old bedding and a vinyl player, the vinyl player will be playing music through the scene and will get louder as the teenager gets closer to the room.

In an earlier scene a typewriter will also be used to introduce the beginning of a thriller, this has been used in other movies such as Sherlock Holmes, but we feel it is very fitting to this thriller opening. We have made sure that we are paying attention to detail by making sure we have the correct header on the letter that we are writing.
