Props

We will not use that many props in our film, as the majority of it is set in an empty room. However in the room we will use a mattress on the floor as one of the only props, this signifies the dire situation our character is in and will reinforce the idea of her being a hostage as this idea is used in many kidnap thrillers. 

A significant prop we will be using is a van in the flashback sequence, the van is used by the kidnapper, we draw attention to this by using focus pull.

Another prop we will use in the flashback sequence is a swing in the park. this connotes childlike innocence and joy which will make our audience sympathise with Hope Hardy even more.

Another prop used is Maddie's laptop, which the kidnapper uses to watch the cctv footage on.

  1. Visuals required.

    Also, where is your location research.

    Remember my earlier comments - this location and prop and costume research is Key if you are to pull off a 10 year flashback. It requires a lot of research. 10 years ago there were few digital appliances for example.

    Health and safety. What risks and how eliminate them.

    Actors? Who.

    Permissions - do you need any?

  2. Overall good - on the cusp of level 4 but there are some gaps and if you fill these, you will be in level 4 for your work to date. More visuals required. The whole issue of the flashback requires a lot of thought.
