Prop Day

Before we could start filming, we needed to get props. But because our scene involved varying environments, we decided to make a list of all the props that we would need it order to film successfully and follow the plot. The first prop that we decided that we would need is a car. Luckily one of my groupmates had a car and he had his license so he could legally drive. This was the prop that we would be using at the beginning of our movie, meaning it was crucial that we had it. After we had the car, the next scenes involved a board game that 3 people could play, and it had to involve money because of what we had planned to say in our script. After searching for around thirty minutes through various cupboards and closets we found a game of monopoly that involved money. We looked at the instructions of how to set up the board game so we could set up quickly and efficiently in order to save time when we were together filming. The next section of the script that we needed to cover requires multiple areas that we needed search in order to show us looking for soothing. Due to the nature of the movie, we were making we were looking for activities to do and have fun. So, the place that we needed to think about had t be funny and discrete, as we were looking for something that was not meant to be found. But, because our film was a comedy we decided to film some places that where smart, and some that where so wrong that it made the film funny. The places that we decided on included the washing machine, see through glass cups, a flowerpot, a cabinet, and behind pillows on a couch, as we figured this would be funny once edited. Now we had to determine where and how to set up everything up at and do any preparation on areas we decided to use. Although because some of the places had clutter inside of them it made it challenging to prepare. The challenge came in because the there was so many objects located in some of the places, we looked at that we didn't want included in our filming when we did. So, we decided to completely empty these places out to get the prop completely ready, which took a long time. Eventually we had everything we needed up to the most challenging thing we thought we would need, the Alcohol. We thought this would be challenging because none of us could legally purchase alcohol nor did we have the money to do so. But we made a quick solution to this when we found multiple half-filled liquor bottles in a drawer. As a result of this blog, we collectively came together as a group and decided upon the props that we would be using as well as for what scenes they would fit best, resulting in a productive day leading up to our filming day.
