Production Diary Part 4

Production Diary Part 4

Props

During our pre-production, props were a big focus for us.

The props were very important to us because the whole story of our opening sequence revolves around them; from the bag we use, the bat and even the files we made.

We managed to obtain a messenger bag/briefcase that was essential for production as one of our characters needed to look like a business-man.

We also borrowed a blunt weapon that we could use during the film. The blunt weapon was to be used as a bridge between scenes as the film would cut to black after it was used.

One of the most important props that we need to use was a few personnel files that we, as a group, made. These files were one of the most important props because we put a lot of detail into them. There is information contained in the files that isn't even shown in the final film, I believe that these small details add a new level of authenticity to our film as some of the information written in the personnel files won't even be seen by the audience as the camera does not give enough time for the viewer to read it. The files have enough details in them to set up the rest of the film after the title sequence, however we would only be making a short opening sequence.
This is a link to the personnel file that we made:
