Prop List and Storyboard


Prop name
Uses and reason for use
Pink girl pyjamas
Shows average girl on an average day, very girly and pink making the victim look more innocent and young.
Hoodie
Hides villains identity, stereotype of people in hoodies being bad makes it seem more real.
Pink Lamp
Goes with theme of victim being very feminine and innocent.
Bed
Used as a piece of furniture for somewhere for the girl to lay down and sleep
Pink Television
Fits with rest of ‘young girly’ theme and also is used to pass time for the girl.
Other objects and ornaments
All of which convey the girls innocence and feminine side as well as making her look like a normal teenager.
Light switch
Provides light and comfort for the girl before she opens the door
‘Frosted’ front doors and windows
Masks the villain hiding in the shadows.
Photograph and pen
Used to show that the girl they saw earlier is now gone and in the villains hands, dead or alive.



Here is the prop list which I just made, it includes everything that was visible in the video clips of the thriller including lamps, front doors and the photograph at the end.The main reason for adding these props was to make the house seem like an average family house, the girl we felt had to be shown as a young dependant girl that is very feminine and likes what average teenage girls like.








































Here is the groups storyboard, drawn by Steve, storyboards are useful because it is a type of planning and assessing whether any more shots are needed as well as adjusting any time durations.These storyboards also allow us to make any changes if we see appropriate to do before even beginning filming. Which would save a lot of time not doubling back on yourself.Lastly, storyboards are a great way of getting feedback from people before even producing the thriller and I think that I may ask a few other groups in our Media lessons what they think of  our storyline to see if there are any developments i could add in or edit.
