Props used on filming day 3

Filming Day 3 required several props to pull off correctly and make convincing and dramatic use of mise-en-scene.

A full list follows:

Chair and 'rope'- to tie Harry up with in the garage
Punching bag- punched for dramatic effect by Carl- already in the garage
Screwdriver, rod and bits of wood- Add to the mise-en-scene of the garage. The 'bit of wood' is also crucial to the plot: it is used to smash the light and plunge the room into darkness and this is when Carl is stabbed
Bloodied knife- The knife (bloodied with tomato ketchup) is a convention of crime/horror/thriller short films and this is a vital prop as it is the murder weapon

Make up- Make up was used to create bruising and bleeding to the face of the character Harry after his altercation with Carl.


Rag to clean prints off the knife: Harry uses a rag he finds in the garden of Carl's house to clean his fingerprints off the knife
Mobile phone: To call his sister who unbeknownst to him is dead.
