Major props within the film are vital to the storyline. Many of these may appear on set already, as part of the mise-en-scene of the scene. However, other additional props will need to be sourced by the group, these will include:

  • Brown Lunch Bag
  • Hatchback Car (Preferably old)
  • Mobile Phone
  • Picnic Blanket
  • Cutlery & Meal
  • Photograph In Frame

Below I have included images of the appropriate props that the group have sourced, these will be the same to the props we will use (however, some are stock photos)
