The main use of the TV was for the reflection of the light to
hit Aarens face. It also creates a mystery why it was turned on and
it blocks out any noise The man might make to prevent anyone from
finding him.Fake Blood & NapkinPicture
Fake blood was mainly used in the flashback so the audience
could see Aaren in pain after being brutally tortured. Also the
napkin was only used in the flashback where we see the man dabbing
the blood off Aarens face. It is also personalised with his
initials. This is the most information we find out about
him.KnifePicture
We used the knife to make Aaren appear more intimidating and
overpowering. This is a sense of irony as she was originally the
victim and the two characters had a roll-reverse making her the
antagonist.Chair & SELLOtape
Originally we used sellotape to tie Sam to the radiator but as
we were shooting for long periods of time, it was to uncomfortable
for him. We then decided to tie him to a chair using the sellotape.
This looked better as you could see him in the background in more
of the shots. The reason we tied him up was to show he was
imprisoned.White sheetPicture
We used a white sheet as a background in our flashback. This is
because it is plain and we want the audience to focus on Aarens
face not her surroundings. This is also so you cannot see the
location of our filming as it creates a mystery.Towel &
LampPicture
The towel and lamp are not props you will see in our production
but theyre very essential. At our location we have a door with a
window in. Using a towel we hang it over the door to prevent the
daylight shining in, creating a darker atmosphere. As for the lamp,
it is used for the opposite reason. Weve used it to create a duller
lighting then daylight but so its bright enough for the camera to
pick up good footage.
