Props and Location

PROPS

The props are an important part of our opening scene as they are used a lot throughout. Below are the following props we will need:

Pills; For when the man takes them to stop/calm his hallucinations down so he can continue with what he is doing.

A simple black dress; This will be what the girl is wearing when she appears out of the bath. It is black to con notate evil; which the person is as she is a dark character/illusion. 

A towel; This will be used when the man is coming out the bath as he will need too cover himself up as otherwise it would be inappropriate. Also he will need to be able to grab it quickly so that he can take his pills.

Fake blood; This will be used when we see the blood dripping from the ceiling in the mans hallucinations. It will only be seen a few times so we only need to use a small amount as its only a couple of drops each time.

A cigarette; This will be used when we see the ECU of it when it is lit. The smoke from it will be used to do a graphic match on another item that contains smoke. 

A kettle; This will be used to connect with the smoke from the cigarette. It was also be seen in the kitchen as its a homely prop that is usually seen.

Location

For our location we will using an urban setting as our opening sequence. We have picked this setting as it means that our target audience can relate to the film more. This is because they may live in this sort of environment themselves. Inside the house we will be using  a low key lighting as it creates an eerier atmosphere. We will be trying to use the natural light that the home environment creates. We will also be filming at night because it will create a scarier setting in our film. Also we will be using a range of different camera angles to make sure we get the most out of our location and what it couldhelp us achieve ( atmosphere wise ).
