Props - Sophie

When planning our media sequence we need to find the correct props which will be appropriate for our sequence. Props are extremely important to create a good atmosphere and are a huge part of mise-en-scene. Throughout the whole sequence props are an important part as they add to the atmosphere and the representation the props create. The victim needs the most number of props, the props the victim will need is a dog, dog lead and a tennis ball.

Dog

In the first part of the sequence the dog will be essential, as this is what will create the main part of our sequence, we are displaying a normal everyday life and in this case the victim will be walking her dog. The dog will be available on the set day that we are filming so will be ideal to use him. We have other alternatives to use if anything goes wrong, we selected this dog as he is well behaved and co-operative with other people.

Dog Lead
In the first part of the sequence the dog will be essential, as this is what will create the main part of our sequence as we are displaying a normal everyday life and in this case the victim will be walking her dog. Therefore we will need a dog lead to keep the dog under control and to display to normality of the victim.

Tennis Ball

In the first part of the sequence the dog will be essential, as this is what will create the main part of our sequence as we are displaying a normal everyday life and in this case the victim will be walking her dog. We are using a tennis ball for the dog to play with during the sequence, this will keep him entertained and will show the shock of the victim within this sequence as she drops the ball and allows the dog to run away.

                              

Binoculars

As in our thriller sequence, we will be showing a normal everyday life, we want it to seem realistic. We are going to incorporate binoculars in, as there will be two members of the public standing on the bridge looking for trains this creates a normal atmosphere. In our sequence I believe this will add to the effect and this will hopefully be displayed to the audience.
