Anthony and I decided to discuss what props and costumes we are going to use in our short film. The first prop we needed was a mobile phone which Anthony kindly provided. We wanted to establish that the character was sophisticated and middle/higher class and therefore Anthony's phone was perfect as it is a blackberry. We needed the phone as it shows that the character cannot get in contact with anyone as there is no signal available on his phone.
Update: During editing we all agreed that the phone looked very out of place and odd in our film as it is shown once and is never shown again. Because of this we decided to edit the phone out of our film completely.
Another prop we used was a fake syringe as we needed a shot of the main protagonist injecting himself with heroine. I found one lying around the house which made things easy as we didn't need to purchase one. The syringe itself looks very realistic which will help make our film seem more professional.
We needed a watch for the professor character as he needs to alert the protagonist that time was is standing still and not moving. Again I found this prop lying around the house and therefore we did not need to purchase one.
Update After discussion we decided to get rid of the professor character and therefore no longer need the watch to be present in our film.
For the main protagonist we wanted him to seem sophisticated and therefore chose him to have him wearing a leather jacket and scarf combo. We believe this worked very well as it makes the character look smart and sophisticated but also gives off an adventurous vibe e.g. Indiana Jones
