Props

  Extra Props

    I know I've discussed props before in a previous blog, but here are actual examples of the types of props that will be placed in the dinner scene with the family.

    These are some bowls in which the family will eat their home cooked Mac and Cheese, and also add extra accents of blue to the film. This film’s purpose is not to show an entire film and storyline, but we do know that Verena is our main character and as she develops the truth of her brother Janus not being the real Janus we would notice throughout the film is the color blue, representing honesty that reflects Verena’s character or even seen as foreshadowing for overcoming grief.

    We can place flowers like this around the house since Verena’s mom is a big gardener and would likely have many flowers inside her home as well, adding an extra touch of realism to the film. We could potentially place it on the table but it may block our actors mid conversation, unless we find a way for it to not block anyone’s view.

    

    For their actual dinner, I suggested we buy the microwaveable Mac and cheese boxes, because it is just to show food on the table as they “eat.” It takes minimal effort to make that way we don’t waste anymore time when we begin filming and already come in a pack of 4 which is the perfect amount.

    Unfortunately, if I am being completely honest my partner and I ran into our first couple of obstacles. One being our casting, which I mentioned in my last blog, and another being we haven’t made the picture frame props for the film yet since the picture frames need to be of our actors. Our goal for next week is to get started on those!
