Props

For my props i wanted to do several things, incorporate the names, have a realistic looking document and gun. In the picture below you can see my props before I adapted them to suit the required needs. In the picture below i have a bb gun, two different sized evnvolopes, paper with the actors names, folder divider and organistion paper.

 

   

        To include something that would allow me to incorporate the actors name into the text as if they were meant to be there was difficult to think of as i didn't want the names to look out of place and just put in a random place just for the sake of it. I wanted them to look like letters or post that had been left there and the protagonist (James) would move around in order to try and find what he's looking for but as they audience we're unsure of what that is until later on in the text.

 

For the important document i wanted it to look very sleek the words to stand out from the background of the folder. As by step dad works for the British transport police he was able to get some stickers for me with the words 'top secret' and 'restricted'. By using these along with a yellow folder divider i was able to give the document the edge it needed and be easily read from the audiences point of view.

     

 Finally for the gun i used my old bb gun and bought some glossy black spray paint and sprayed the gun to make it look realistic. I thought about getting different colours for the gun like dark blue or grey but for the best results I thought I should go with the black.
