Props Required

This film is quite a simplistic piece therefore not many props will be required. We will however have at least one prop for each character which will help establish and develop that certain characters role, story and characteristics.

Susan’s prop

Susan’s character will have a pram as a prop. This will be used to establish her yearning for a child. She will be seen pushing an empty pram down the road emphasising her emptiness and lack of trust in men. The pram will also symbolise her psychological situation in the fact that she has been traumatised by her fatherless past.

Ashley’s prop

Ashley’s character will have a bag and school books as his prop showing he is a student. These props will help establish his situation and make his role as “the student who is about to become a father” clearer. We will see Ashley walking down the road holding his books and carrying his bag. These props will also make Ashley’s character more relatable to our target audience which ranges from 16 to 25 years of age as the target audience can relate to education and what this character may be experiencing in his life at this time with university work, his social life and family.

Ruby’s prop

Ruby is the typical “daddy’s girl” therefore her prop will be a picture of her dad or a picture of her and her dad. This prop establishes that she admires her father and is proud of him. The picture could be seen in her wallet as she gets out her money to pay for something, on her phone as her screen saver or in a locket.

Matt’s prop

Matt is a father who would like to be closer to his child but is kept away. To emphasie his character his prop will be a cuddly toy showing his sensitive side and how he wants to be able to give his child everything they need. He will be seen walking down the road holding the toy showing that his child is always on his mind and a big factor in his life.
