Due to the small budget that we had, being a company that replica's that of an independent company, we had no budget and had to use any resources that we could find or already owned. In order to do this we used props that our actor already had, this contained things such as his bag, and clothing that he already had.
The props that we used was:
- Rucksack
- Plate
- Food
- Items in his bag
- Picture frame
- Camera
All of these items we were able to get from the actor, our own homes or from the house that we were using for filming.
We believed that the props we used help to represent the image that we wanted, as we wanted our character to look as though he was up to date and current with the social acceptability’s in fashion and hair styles. However the clothes also fit with the codes and conventions of a short film, in how the character is wearing clothes that the common amongst the age group of the character. The use of the hand held camera in different points within the short story, this also fits with the codes and conventions as it is very common and popular for directors to have their entire short film or parts of their short film based around the idea of it being a self-documentary.
