Props- Aimee

Props in our Thriller will help bring together the main theme of our film, Stalking. This will be done over social networking sites which without the props could not be done, or if the props were not in the scene it would illuminate the audiences knowledge of how the victim is being stalked.

The key props for the girl in our Thriller will be a smart phone, laptop and possibly other electronic devices such as a tablet. I think it is good for the girl to have many different electronic devices because it could mean that it would be harder for her to get away from the stalker, this then incorporates the convention of antagonist ensnaring the protagonist as she feels trapped by him. I believe that the girl having the expensive props will also show that she is of a higher class and possibly well off and treated well by her family, which will be an opposite to what we see with the antagonist. The props around the girl such as in her house or her bedroom will be neat and clean to show her happy content, well taken care of life. There will also be elements of a typical girls bedroom in there to show the extraordinary event in a ordinary situation also.

The key props for the male will be much more minimal to show that he isn't as lucky and looked after as the victim. An obvious prop for the male in this situation would be an electronic device which for him will only be a laptop and a  phone. The phone will be appropriate for him to have as he can take pictures of the girl on it and send it to her straight away. This will give a sense of voyeurism with the phone but also make the girl feel more trapped like he is all around. The laptop will be an important element as that is where all his main work will be done from whilst stalking her at his home, it is also an important element as we see his collection of sightings and messages from the girl that he has on his laptop in files. This will show how long he has stalked the victim for and how serious it is.
