planning post focusing on mise-en-scene element (costume, set, props, lighting, etc.) pt.2

 Props and Lighting

Props: 

We have 2 props for our opening film, the first one is simple, something you could find in any kitchen, a knife. This knife will be then one that will slide down her sleeve and will also be the murder weapon, this knife will be key to our film. The second object, which we're still deciding on, is the bloody object. The object that he finds and confront her about it. We're in between gloves or a piece of clothing which will be smeared with blood on it. The blood, which could be counted as a third prop, is fake. We will be using fake blood. 

Lighting: 

Our lighting for this opening film is extremely important. It will be the way our audience will tell the mood of the room, the people, and the tension happening. The principal lighting for our film will be the ones from the shift from the living room to the bathroom and from the bathroom to the living room. The bathroom lighting is key, it will be the lighting that will introduce the audience and show them that the lighting will take a big part in the film. The kitchen lighting which is the last few scenes lighting, will demonstrate the diabolical event that it about to happen.
