Initial planning - Props

For our film opening, we have chosen some props that we feel would benefit the film by providing realism which would make the film more believable. One of the props that we are going to use is a bunch of flowers; this will be tied to a tree trunk to symbolise a memorial which links into our narrative. The flowers will represent the death of Alice, and will be the place that the main protagonist visits during her time on the woods. With the flowers stereotypically connoting grief and loss, it is a suitable prop to add to our film as it relates to our narrative.
We will use the flowers and tie them to the tree to recreate a memorial scene.

We are also planning on using a photograph of both the victim and the protagonist together to represent the friendship that the two characters had. It will help the audience to establish the relationship between the characters without explicitly stating it. Having the photo will show that the person in the photograph is the memorial of the person that Martha is visiting, signifying how she is thinking of the memories they had together.

Other props that may be used is make up for the two female characters, and a possible face covering for the antagonist depending on how much we want to conceal his full identity.

We also plan on using a pair of black gloves as this will connote danger and that something bad may happen.
