Costume and prop ideas

Harry Saunders

Introduction

• In this piece of work, I will be looking at the props and costumes I need for our production to help me understand what I need to prepare and find for the production stage of this piece.

Mobile phone

• We have a scene where the male lead character and female character are distracted by their mobile phones and social media (which we learned was vital in our research) rather than each other on their day out, so we will be using an iPhone 5 as our prop to present this.

Handcuffs• Handcuffs are used to present the metaphor

in our video and are placed between the two characters, keeping them from parting. These would normally be a pain to acquire but I have a set of real ones at home, so this will not be a costly job.

Ice Cream• On the day of the shoot we will purchase an

ice cream for the characters to share during the scene where they realise their respect for one another. This is cheap and easy to purchase as there are many shops and ice cream vans especially on the pier.

Costume character 1

• The costumes needed for the male lead are simple and basic. He is supposed to be presented as a modern young adult wearing typical clothing seen in high street fashion. Here is what he will be wearing :

Costume character 2

• The female character will be wearing a similar idea of what the male is wearing; a simple yet modern outfit showing that they are just normal people, wearing clothes relatable to the audience. Here is what she will wear :

Conclusion

• To conclude, I have found that I now have a concise understanding of the props we will need and how the characters will be presented and dressed during the production of this piece, therefore helping me plan my coursework effectively.
