Props Research


  • Car
    • At first, when thinking about what car to include in our film, we decided that we should use a pick-up truth,as it has on notations with masculinity and survival. However, after further thought,we decided against using this type of car, as it could have negative connotations. Instead we decided to use a Chrysler voyager, as this is a very ordinary everyday car, and could present the lead character as a family man, and so in a positive light. This will help with the representation of our character, as we want the audience to relate to him, as he is our lead protagonist. 
The original car we were going to use.


The Car we finally decided on.


  • Mobile phones
    • As our film plot is circled around media, and the effect that it can have, we decided that we needed to make this point explicitly obvious in the opening two minutes. Therefore we decided to open up with a series of very fast paced shots of a variety of different people using their mobile phones, this would immediately establish the theme of technology. The dead bodies will also be shown to be linked with technology, as we will have shots of the bodies holding mobile phones. We decided that the mobile phones we needed to include in the shot would need to be smart-phones, as to coincide with the app in our plot.

  • Fake blood
    • In order to portray that the dead bodies are, in fact, dead, and not just sleeping we decided to go for the very obvious example of having fake blood dripping from their ears. This also fits in with the idea that it is the app that will be introduced later on in the film, that has killed everyone, as the app is a very futuristic one that projects images directly into the brain, and this is what has been used to kill everybody.
