Ideas for Props

Props

There are many key props that we could use that could symbolise so many things. An obvious one is the use of a gun. This shows the audience that maybe something dangerous is about to happen and a key part in the film is about to take place. However even though it is an obvious prop and is used in so many thrillers I still think it would still be a good prop to use as this would convey our message about the assassin setting out to kill the victim.

This gun would be a good prop to use as it has a silencer, the silencer creates the impression to the audience that the kill is going to be done secretly without anyone knowing.

Through-out our opening scene the victim is on a computer printing pictures, the use of the computer prop and printer shows that the character is printing images off and looking at important information, this would make the audience think about what is going to happen in later on the film etc, and use of a close up shot on the images and computer shows the audience that it is an important part in the film. The computer symbolises that the images that are been printed off are very important, it also shows that the character is very involved in the film.   

This is the sort of close up shot we want to use when we show what the victim is doing on the computer. The image also shows a point of view, this shot shows what the character can see. Having the close up shot allows the audience to work out what the character is working on and it will draw the audience in. The image below on the right shows an over the shoulder shot of the computer screen this would also be a good shot to use as it helps place the audience in the characters setting.
