14. Prop list

Here is a list of the props I am going to need for my film opening with an image and an explanation of the meaning that I am going to try to produce with them.

Makeup


I am going to need makeup to show the main character getting ready in the morning. She is trying to fit in at her new school and has been experimenting with different looks using makeup and clothes. I plan for the main character to put on makeup in the mirror to help show this.

Toast

As the narrative of my film opening is based on the main character getting ready for her first day of school, eating breakfast is included in her morning routine. To show her going doing this the main character will quickly eat a few bites of toast. This will also help to show that she is in a rush.

Toothbrush

Again, as part of the main character's morning routine, she will rush brushing her teeth. To do this she will need a toothbrush. It will also be used as a small comedic part of the narrative to help my film opening fit the genre of Teen Comedy.

Cigarette

To show the main character trying to fit in at her new school, as well as experimenting will different styles, she will to try to smoke a cigarette. Using a cigarette fits with the conventions of a Teen Comedy as drug usage. This will comply with the guideline of a 12A rated film as long as the use is infrequent (which it will be as it will only be shown once) and is not glamourise (which it also wont be as the main character is going to not like smoking and then flush the cigarette down the toilet).
