Actual Props and Locations


This is another of our locations, we are filming Scott at a table, we are planning on using these clips as flickering images to create the effect of making the spectator unaware of what is happening. These are also the props we are using to place on the table, to make the spectator wonder what the male is doing.

This is the table we are using, it contains a rope, empty film cases and an old broken camera, this is suggesting to the spectator that the male is some kind of psycho man. The table has blood stains on it to make the spectator think he has done something wrong, this is flickering images that link to the male in the empty room. These are linked as its the same male, the male at the table is before the man sitting in the room, to make the spectator wonder what he has done wrong to end up isolated in a room, by himself. We decided not to use a lighter and a knife as this would mean bringing a knife into college, which may cause some problems, we also decided to use a pen and paper, so the character can draw a picture, a childs picture, to suggest he is a psycho. We were planning on using crayons, but couldnt get hold of any so we used a pencil instead, which will still contain the same effect we were planning.

Before we started filming we made sure we had pictures of our locations and props to show what we were going to use and where:

This is a picture of one of our locations, this is where we will be filming most of our main shots.The dark room is to emphasis the isolation of the character, and show that he is in a dark room by himself.
The stall suggests that he is not worthy of anything more, to suggest he is there for a good reason.
The lighting in this picture is natural lighting but as a group we decided to use artificial lighting as this would make our editing process easier, so every shot will have the same lighting. If the lighting was natural we would have all different types of lighting which would look odd.
