Prop List

When we are filming we will need to ensure that we have the following props:

• Litter to make Harry's room appear messy and unkept

• Scrabble for one of our titles and to make it appear that he has been playing with his daughter. Scrabble is made up of dark colours, connoting the sinister atmosphere we intend to create in the opening.

• Baby photos showing Harry remembers his daughter.

• Picture his daughter drew, acting as a title and showing he had a good relationship with his daughter. The picture will be drawn in bright colours, connoting that the child was happy. The people in the  picture will also have smiles to connote that the family were once all happy. This will help to create a furthur sense of myster and encourage the audience member to continue watching because they want to find our how the family became broken.

• Alarm clock to wake him up and show him going about his daily routine

• Pills and pill pot as the lack of pills will show that he is mentally unstable. We will also show a title on the pot. The pot is going to be dark brown or dark orange. This connotes that the pills hodl negative connotations which are seen later in the opening.

• Loaf of bread show him going about his daily routine and another title will be shown.

• Carton of juice to show a title and him going about his daily routine. Light colours will be used on the carten, connoting that he is happy going about his daily life and that his mental illness does not effect him in this aspect of life.

• Newspapers to show he is looking for his daughter and to include a title. The text will be red, connoting that dangerous information he may find in the paper, such as the news that his daughter is dead.

• To do list to show the lack of activity in his day and how this activity decreases the more mentally unstable he becomes. We will also show a title on this list.

• Sticky labels and pens to help create the titles

It is important that we create a props list to ensure that we take all of the props to the location. We will buy them fro supermarkets, or bring them from our houses. This is because we are an independent film company and so need to keep costs low.
