Prop Making

In our thriller we haven't planned to use many props. the only ones we plan to use are leaflets and posters that are related to the story of our thriller. We have decided to use, within our background of our filming, poster to help build a sense of mystery and suspense with the audience. The posters and leaflets will have to look worn, old, and as if they have been there for sometimes as our setting is a deserted city of London. To give this effect to our newly printed posters and leaflets we done these things:

¬

¬

¬

Get the poster and spray water over it on a flat surface.

¬

¬

¬

¬

¬

¬

¬

¬

Role the paper into a ball to make it creased and torn.

¬

¬

¬

¬

¬

¬

¬

¬

To make the posters and leaflets look older than they are we stained them with tea.

¬

¬

¬

¬
¬
¬

¬

we then soaked the edges of the papaer in to tea to colour the paper and to colour the creases.
¬
¬
¬
¬

¬
¬
¬
we then let them dry and this is what we were left with.
¬

¬
¬
¬

¬

we feel that these props will benefit our thriller as they are fitting with our location of a deserted city and will help us set the scene of an abandoned city. These props are to help with the Mise en Sence and set the scene rather than to ake our protagonist seem dangerous etc.
