Props list

The props which we need for our thriller are;
A gun - which we are going to get to get from the drama department at our school.


An iPhone - one memeber of our group is going to let their iphone be used for this.


Two cars - we will use the car of the media teacher who is coming to the shooting with us at the car
park, and the car of the male teacher who is acting the victim. A black car with blacked out windows is often used as a connotation for gangsters, assasins in thriller films. This links to our film as it is about international conspiracies and violence. Our target audience would recognise this convention and hopefully it would attract them to our product.

 
 

A black briefcase - which we will also get from our drama department at the school. A black brief case can look suspicious and therefore ties in to the thriller genre it is a symbol used in thrillers usch as The International which is a conspiracy/spy thriller similar to ours.


 




A watch (for the killer) - we will borrow one of the male teachers or actors actual watch. This will suit our male actor as this is the kind of Bond lifestyle we have given him.
 
 
 
A cargo container is often used in thriller films and juxtaposing the calmness of the sea with the metallic dirty cargo container often used for transferring illegal produce/people/drugs/guns across countries and continents. An example of this is the tv programme The Killing where a girl was held for ransom in a cargo container in season 3. Prison break season 4 also used  a warehouse and cargo container as a hangout for the cons on the run. Therefore this is not an unusual occurance in thriller films and the squalid, dirty, slightly rusty location would perfectly suit our film which is about intrigue and double crossing.
