Set design (props)🕵️

 Introduction:

    As I transition into the process of starting to film, I need to ensure that I make the set of my film look realistic. There are many props I wish to integrate into my project to pull the film all together. I will explain each set prop, how I wish to use it, and why I think it's relevant to the opening.

Props:

    The first prop I would like to include is caution tape or Do Not Cross tape, and cones. I think that this would immediately give meaning to viewers as they can tell that some sort of crime or murder has taken place, I will use the caution take to go around the cones as some sort of barrier to make this happen. When you see caution tape in a movie you can already infer that something went on. I will utilize this tape in a cross looking formation as well as the cones being numbered around the scene. Numbers on the cones shows each part of the scene where there is some type of evidence or important information. Using these props will help develop the overall theme just in the beginning. 


    Another prop I will use is sugared glass as a floor design. This "glass" will be spread among the floor of the street as if glass was used part of the crime. Sugared glass is a fake glass made of melted sugar that acts as glass in movies to make scenes look more real. This product is useful over real glass anytime throughout films since it lessens the injuries on set when filming. This sugared glass will help me to develop the overall plot to my theme by giving questions to the viewers like, "what happened with the glass" or "how was it used". 


Summary:
    Overall, These two props are going to be used heavily throughout my film opening to enhance the overall theme and act as a visual element. I plan to buy these products this weekend and begin my filming process too so I will document how I utilized these different products and if I use any other popular thriller movie props. If there are any changes to my props I will also document, but for now I will be updating later!
