PLANNING PROPS

Props



- plastic gun
- dolls
- teddy bears
-mini china tea set
- a rose
-puzzle pieces


This gun I brought on amazon, which was originally gold. I spray painted it black for the purpose of the film, which made not look slightly more realistic.

The plastic doll, I bought at a charity shop for £2, in Wymondham. I used a blow torch to burn the doll and melt the plastic which made it look more rustic.

I also burned 1 teddy bear and left the other one as it it. I thought this bear would look effective as he has patches on it's clothing, so I decided to add to it and burn it.

I also burned the doll and the skipping rope, however I didn't use these in the end, as they were not needed while filming.



I used my notebook to write all the props down, so I could tick them off as I went along. I found this really helpful, which made me much more organised.
