Props: by Ellie Martin

The document describes various props used in a film production. It explains that a television was used to reflect light on a character's face and block out noise. Fake blood and a napkin with initials were used in a flashback to show a character being tortured. A knife was used to make a character appear intimidating by reversing roles from victim to antagonist. A chair and duct tape were used to tie up a character after duct tape on a radiator was uncomfortable. A white sheet served as a background in a flashback to focus on a character's face and create mystery. A towel and lamp were also important props - the towel blocked daylight through a window and the lamp provided dimmed lighting for filming.

The main use of the TV


was for the reflection
of the light to hit
Aarens face. It also
creates a mystery why
it was turned on and it
blocks out any noise
The man might make
to prevent anyone from
finding him.

FAKE BLOOD & NAPKIN

Fake blood was mainly used


in the flashback so the
audience could see Aaren in
pain after being brutally
tortured. Also the napkin was
only used in the flashback
where we see the man
dabbing the blood off Aarens
face. It is also personalised
with his initials. This is the
most information we find out
about him.

KNIFE

We used the knife to


make Aaren appear
more intimidating and
overpowering. This is
a sense of irony as
she was originally the
victim and the two
characters had a rollreverse making her
the antagonist.

CHAIR & SELLOTAPE


Originally we used sellotape to
tie Sam to the radiator but as
we were shooting for long
periods of time, it was to
uncomfortable for him. We
then decided to tie him to a
chair using the sellotape. This
looked better as you could see
him in the background in more
of the shots. The reason we
tied him up was to show he
was imprisoned.

WHITE SHEET

ur

We used a white sheet as a


background in our
flashback. This is because it
is plain and we want the
audience to focus on Aarens
face not her surroundings.
This is also so you cannot
see the location of our
filming as it creates a
mystery.

TOWEL & LAMP


Pi

ur

The towel and lamp are not props


you will see in our production but
theyre very essential. At our
location we have a door with a
window in. Using a towel we hang
it over the door to prevent the
daylight shining in, creating a
darker atmosphere. As for the
lamp, it is used for the opposite
reason. Weve used it to create a
duller lighting then daylight but
so its bright enough for the
camera to pick up good footage.
