Filming - Props:

One very significant prop that we will be using for opening is a bench, this is used for the tracking shot of the two girls. This is what the entire narrative revolves around. We will be using a bench in Georgie's garden (where the scene will be filmed), but we will be re-positoning it so the it is in front of the house. For this scene we will also get our actors to wear black hoodies in order for them to appear more mysterious and to introduce an ominous element into the beginning of the film.

Another prop we will be using is a mirror for the scene where the main character is looking distressed at her reflection. We will be filming this in Georgie's bathroom. The mirror will be key for this scene as it reflects her battling with her mind.

For one of the happier flashbacks, we will be filming the two girls taking a photo together on a phone. For this we will use either mine or Georgics iPhone. Other props we will be using for happy flashbacks include blankets, pillows and cushions to make the characters seemed relaxed and comfortable.

For the scene of the two girls reading books together we carefully selected books which would subtly link to the plot of our opening. The books we chose were 'The Shock of the Fall' by Nathan Filer, which explores a narrative around grief and madness, as well as'A Hundred Pieces of Me' by Lucy Dillon which explores memories and the past. As these books are aimed at the same age group as our target audience there could be a chance that they are recognised it and therefore this would give them a sense of what the narrative is.
