G321 - Final Decisions - Props, Locations and Costumes

Props
Our final decisions on props were based on the characters personality and how the audience would interpret them. For example, the weights on Chris's table show that he cares a lot about his image and is quite shallow. Also Tallulah has a floral theme running through her props which has connotating she is girly and sweet.


Location
Our final decisions for our location were chosen due to how easy it would be to film in those places and which places would look best to set the scene. For example, we used our friends bedroom because it is very floral and girly which would be effective for Tallulah's character. For Chris and Richard we turned one males bedroom into two and placed different props in there to distinguish the difference in character. For the restaurant we used Katie's dining room and pushed a single table and two chairs up against a pretty wall to show they were in a restaurant. This worked just as well as going to an actual restaurant or using any other loaction because we could take as much time as we needed to film.

Costumes
Our final decisions on costumes were again based on the characters personality and what they were doing at the time. For example, at the beginning of the film opening Tallulah is getting ready to go on the date so she is wearing a pale green satin dressing gown which has connotations of innocence. She then puts on a pale pink lacey dress which again has connotations of innocence and purity. Chris and Richard are both wearing the same suit which explains to the audience out storyline. The suit is dark colours connoting danger and mystery.
