Prop List

Within our film trailer, we will need to use several props in order to make it interesting and life like. One of the props that we would like to use is my Crosley portable record player (which you can see in the photograph below). This will provide sound effects and will also play a role in the story of the trailer.

Obviously, to accompany the record player, we will use a vinyl record from my collection. We are still unsure of whether the actual audio from the record will be used, or whether we will edit over the sound with a tune or song of our own choice (if I do not own that record). 

Another important prop that we may need is a clock. I'm not sure what type of clock will look best - a vintage clock? A modern clock? I know that I would like it to be an analogue clock with a second hand, as it will be used to show the passing of time and to build up tension within the trailer. It may also be used for sound effects. A passport will also be a necessary prop which will add to the narrative of the story. 

The mise en scene and set dressings will also need to be considered. Things such as the items of clothing that the characters will wear, certain make up that they will have to wear, and also features of the actual set will be considered, and will be used to portray the certain atmosphere that we want within the trailer.
