- Tools/Knives
- Car
For our thriller to work we also need the use of a car, which we have got one to use. The car is a very useful prop as it allows us to get one of our characters from her workplace to her house, where the man is. You realise they are going to meet when the girl pulls up onto her driveway.
- Kettle
The kettle is used in the thriller opening when the characters turns the kettle on. I think this is a good choice of prop to use because all of the suspense from the crosscutting, turning the kettle on will bring some 'normalization' for the moment.
- Sheets
The sheets will be used to cover objects in the cellar that we don't want the audience to see.
- Chair
The girl will be sitting on the chair whilst she is tied to it. This will create some distress to the audience because they will want to know why is she being gagged as she appears to be an innocent character. Any chair will do, preferably an old one. - Rope
The rope is going to be used to tie the girls feet and hands to the chair. We need to ensure we get some rope which looks strong enough to tie a girl down.
- Blanket
To cover the girls body in the cellar with.
Is this the actual chair - this is an antique and valuable chair by the looks of it - remember what this is saying about the setting - rich, wealthy. You cant say any old chair will do as all props tell a s tory about character and setting. same applies to rope, car, knives. Characters inhabit spaces that tel us stories about who inhabits these places - it appears that the girl character is quite well off.
