Film Planning - Props

Props needed for the shoot will be -

• Knives - preferably real, due to the lack of fights/physical contact there would be little danger using real knives.
• Knife block - this is key to the shoot and allows the audience to see that there is another presence.
• Additional lighting - due to the day/night effect we wish to create, additional smaller lighting will be needed, and will probably be used in each different setting within the house.
• Bed clothing - provided by the actress this will be used to show the night time nature of the film, and also it will be a perfect fit for the actress, anchoring her in that location.
• Bedside props - as the bedroom doesn't actually belong to the actress, great care will be needed when selecting the items around her, for example there will need to be lipstick/makeup on the bedside table, to conform to the stereotype, then also modern unisex items such as an ipod, that are often associated with younger generations.
• Suit - this is required to fit the antagonist, so therefore one of his suits will need to be chosen. the best kind of suit to get would be black, however any dark colour should suit the mood.
