Props in more detail

Wooden chair

We decided to use a wooden chair as one of our props as during filming the character was sitting at a desk in his bedroom, so we felt that a wooden chair would go quite well with the location.

Wooden table

We chose to have a wooden table situated in the character’s bedroom where he was writing a letter in our opening sequence. We thought that the wooden table went quite well with the location used.

Lined paper

We used lined paper as a prop in the opening sequence. This was used to make scrunched up balls to show that the character has written several letters wrong and then thrown them on the desk. We also used it when the character is writing his final letter.

Black pen

We used a thick black pen when the character is writing the letter. We chose to use this type of pen instead of a normal biro as it stood out, and was easy to read when filming.

Watch


The character was wearing a silver watch throughout the whole opening sequence to hint at the point that time was a significant feature. We used a silver watch to stand out on his wrist and to also look expensive, which implied that our character is quite wealthy.

Alarm clock

We used a red led digital alarm clock at the beginning of our opening sequence. This is because we wanted to elaborate that time was an importance to the character. We chose to use a red led display because it was easy to read when filming and stood out throughout all of our shots.

Desk Lamp

We chose to use a black desk lamp which was quite bright to give a direct light onto the letter that the character was writing. We chose to have a black lamp because it didn’t stand out in the dark room; all you could see was a strobe of light on the paper.
