R+P Post 15: Our planned filming location, set design and props

Ella's Bedroom

For the filming of our opening sequence rough cut we decided to use the bedroom of a member of our group, Ella. We decided to use Ella's room as no any major changes to the set were required, and the room suited our opening sequence idea as it already had a number of things that we needed; we needed a mirror, a bed with some kind of bed side table and a wardrobe.

Following on from this, as a group we decided that the creation of a set & prop list would be of great benefit to the shooting process. This document was created for our main shoot and it entailed a list of the setups that would be used and a list of all the props we deemed necessity to have, to ensure the genre, personality and motives of the main character, and themes were further connoted. In hindsight, I feel that the use of a props list for our test shoot, would have maybe allowed for a better end product as the props would have aided the audience in understanding what was going on in our opening sequence.
