Props/Mis en Scene

Dance Studio:
Props:
We did not need any props accept what was in the dance studio. This included a large CD player in the bottom left hand corner of the studio by the mirrors.
We do not wish to move this when filming as we thought it gave a more natural and believe feel to the scenes, as you would expect to find this in a dance studio.

We decided we would add a couple of chairs a perhaps a bag, in which would be the dancers, in the background of some of the shots, again to make the setting more believable to our audience.

Mis en Scene:
We do not need to change anything in the dance studio for filming, as the mis en scene was perfect.
The high key, natural lighting and the big dance studio with the minimal props is all we need when shooting the scenes of the dancer.




Photowall:
Props: For the photowall, we need a lot of photos of our character. They need to be a range of different photos, and including ones in which the 'stalker' had taken. We wish for other people in the photos to be blurred out, and only our female character is in focus.

Mis en Scene:
As you do not see the location or any surroundings in which the photowall is set, the mis en scene is not vitally important. The only thing that would add to the mis en scene is the lighting, which was want to be soft but have a hint of red to it, to add that feel and sense of danger.

Fire:
Props: During these shots, you see a girl cutting a photo in half and burning half of the photo. For this to be filmed, we need;
- a pair of scissors
- one photo
- and a braclet for the female to wear in order to strike that sense of questioning from the audience as to why the stalker is wearing a braclet and then for them to realize it is a female.

Mis en Scene:
Again, in these shots you do not see much of the surrounding/location.
We want the natural light given off the fire to light our shots, as it is just enough to light the action of the shots, and give that mystery and tense atmosphere.
