Pre-Production: Props Research

Choosing our Props


After we had decided on both of our locations we needed to make sure that the props we used would fit with our genre but also be linked to how we would use children in our video. 

For the scenes in the child's bedroom, we decided that we would leave all of the props already in the room the same, as we felt that this would provide us with a more accurate representation of a child's room. However we thought that we could add some props to the bedroom which would be a reference to the child's love of music, as they would dream of being in a band. This could include an instrument of some sort, music posters and headphones. 

For the performance scenes on stage, we decided to make our own instruments out of cardboard. Although we could easily borrow instruments from Norden Farm, we thought that, our video would look better if the children had home-made instruments. This meant we would need to make a drum kit and 3 guitars.
