Props for our thriller

There are not very many props needed for the opening scene of our thriller. However, two phones are necessary in order for the primary component of the scene to occur and proceed. Sean will have a clearly older and less expensive phone than Sebastian to indicate that he is inferior to him. We think that Sebastian should have a Samsung Galaxy SIII as it is a fashionable phone which suggests his ability to exploit and influence, while we think that Sean should have a Nokia 6600 Slide as it demonstrates his pitifulness. These are also good choices of phones because the Nokia is quite cheap on eBay compared to other phones, while we can get the Samsung from Play.com - CheapestElectrical for a very good price, bearing in mind how new the phone is.

The Samsung will appeal to our target audience (15+) as it will be recognisable to the youth of the 21^st century because the phone is updated and current. Moreover, the use of the Nokia will make the audience feel sorry for Sean due to it being dated.

Additionally we are going to buy a ‘Martial Arts PP Material Karambit Training Knife’ from Amazon as it isn’t very expensive and it is fake so it won’t cause anybody harm. This prop will be found in the pocket of Sean when he wakes up, planted by Sebastian, as a symbol for and an insinuation of all the people he is going to kill. Finally, we will also get ’Stargazer Fake Blood’ from Amazon as it is quite cheap and we will put some on the karambit to imply that it has been used to kill people before and will be used for the same reason again.

The karambit will appeal to our target audience as they may find it interesting that a different weapon is being used rather than just a plain knife or a gun. The fake blood will also appeal as it will make the circumstances seem more convincing and create a realistic sense of the pain that the karambit can inflict.

For opening sequence:

We are going to get syringes from MediSupplies because they are very cheap and we plan to use them in our stylised opening sequence where the credits will come out of the syringes. The syringes will appeal to our target audience as it will subtly give them an idea of what to expect from the film and arouse their attention and excite them.
