Props List

How many?

We don’t need very many props as our thriller is set in a. We only require 3 props as we thought that was a suitable amount of props as we don't want to complicate the the atmosphere with a bunch of props combined with close ups.

What do you need?

We need a pistol for the man sat in the back of the car,

We also need a phone for the person sat in the front to talk on, preferably one without gps so it doesn’t interfere with filming however if we do use a phone with gps we would have the phone be put on airplane mode so it doesn't interfere with the camera.

And a car which is where our thriller is set, it doesn’t have to be a specific car as we are only using the inside of the car however it would be preferred if the car was a relatively cheap and small car as our victim is a university sudent. 

Where are you getting them

We are getting the replica gun from the school as they have them from previous thrillers and plays. With the gun with decided to have a silencer added onto the gun as the Media department has a silencer with the gun. Therefore would reduce our overall price of our Media Thriller.

We are getting the phone from a media teacher at school who has one of the older phones which doesn’t have gps in it so it wouldn't interfere with the camera or we would be bring/buying a smart phone as most university students prefer to use a smart phone. However we might end up using a htc one and to avoid it interfering with the camera we would put it on airplane mode and download this fake calling app and just activate it.

Why do you need them?

All of these props are essential to our thriller and it couldn’t be done without any of them, as the car is also our location, the phone and the gun make the narrative. These props will help build the atmosphere that our group is trying to convey.
