Research and Planning - Preparation Of Props and Scene

 

 This video shows us preparing the props at the scene of where we filmed our first shot.  It was located in a bedroom at an apartment which we used for the day. There was minimal furniture and possessions in the room which was extremely handy as it allowed us to dress the room specifically the way that we wanted it to look in the scene. This was like a boys bedroom, so we positioned the coat on the wardrobe door and the laptop on the dressing table to show it showed the audience it was a males room. The pictures on the wall were placed carefully to look similar to the practice 'stalker board' posted earlies in my blog. It was important that we got the props perfectly positioned so that it was clear to the audience when watching it that this was the bedroom of the stalker. All the images against the blank walls show nothing about his personality, no posters, no colours all we see is the laptop, the coat and the images. This gives across a message to the audience as to what this boys 'hobbies' and 'interest' are. It gives a clear indication of what he is actually doing here which is in fact stalker the girl whether he realises it or not.
