The Props (what exactly they are) #gettingready

The Pizza box could be bought from Dominos and could actually be eaten on set after filing!
So the box would indeed need to be straight from Dominos with the fresh, hot pizza inside.

The shopping bags must be plastic, and we can fill them with random junk to add the the perception that the mother (Sarah) has just bought things from the local shop or superstore.

The Torches! Heavy Duty torches or if we cant gain access to any of these we will have to result to average torches. The torches could be used to light up boxes in the loft as well as the loft itself.

Stanley-knife: So we've had a think about what Jake would need to open the box that contains the watch & newspaper, and a Stanley-knife seems the most realistic option for the job. So we'll be using my old grey Stanley-knife as the prop.

Speakers: Using Keegan's portable speakers

We can just use home landline phone that the house (wherever we film) has.

Now the boxes seems to be the real problem. We will need to find lots and lots of boxes, but only one will need to have items in (which will have the newspaper on top). We can probably use the boxes that are scattered around the house on the ground floor in other shots like for example the shot of Jake & Kyle walking on the second floor and up the stairs, we could actually use these boxes again in the loft scene. We will probably need around 10 to 15 boxes of varied size but relatively large.

  1. as well as your lighting props (the torches) - these on their own will be insufficient. You will also need borrowed light from the lighting equipment. If you don't use this, your film will be very dark and grainy and unwatchable. So- you need to record some experiments before you actually film for real, in the loft space to see how much extra light you need to make the film watchable. If you don't understand what i mean, then ask me - this will be the making or breaking of your film.

    The boxes can be empty. Tight framing will take away the need for lots of boxes - it all depends on if you want to establish that their are a lot of boxes in the space.

    Again, think about your post - it is very boring visually - needs images etc, why don't you just record yourself talking on some occasions and post these.
