Props List











These are our groups location shots, and these are of Nonsuch Park in the woods. These shots are interesting angles, and the sharp twigs only emphasize the danger that is there. Also, the shot above makes it seem as if someone is hiding behind the tree, and this further creates an eerie atmosphere. The obscure composition of these shots meerly reflects the obscurity of the storyline itself, and this will make the opening sequence very interesting for the viewer to watch.


This image shows the blue colour scheme kitchen along with our other prop, the toaster. Blue was the main colour scheme of our movie, and these were to be used in the house scene.





This dressing gown is part of costume for the character of Damien, and again this is following the colour scheme of blue.

This prop is a red gift-box, and this prop is very important within the forest scene. The giftbox is used to introduce the symbol to our charcater Damien.

For the first scene there will not be many props but the ones we do use will be important to the storyline. We want to have some clocks scattered around showing different times which hope to get the audience thinking that it is not real and is a dream. Another prop we will us in this scene is a small box that will have the symbol inside it. The second scene will use a lot more props as it is set in a home. The props that will be important to the story are a toilet, cup of tea, bread that will be toasted in a toaster and a knife and butter. Smaller props will include a set of keys, plates and other items that are around a normal home.

Costumes
There are two main costumes that the main actor will be wearing. The first one being a blue dressing gown which he will be wearing in him premonition and also while before he gets dressed in the next scene. We decided to put him in the dressing gown in both scenes to link the two scene together and to help to audience understand that the first half is a dream. The dressing gown will be blue as it is the main colour scheme. The other costume will be a grey suit which he will put on in the end of the second scene. The suit will show that the character may have a good job and cares about his appearance.

Locations
We thought very carefully to wear the film would be set and decided to set it first in a forest followed by a scene in a house. We decided to do this as it scored highly in our questionnaires we created in the research stage as well as linking well with the story and ideas we had as a group. We decided to set the forest scene in Nonsuch Park as it fit well with our ideas. For example we knew it had paths of which we can film up and many surrounding trees that will block out anything as well as creating an extra frame. The forest also create a sinister feel as many of the leaves will have fallen of the trees and it is also very quite and still. The second scene we decided will be set in Katie's house as it fit in well with our ideas of having blue as the main theme as the kitchen is blue themed.
