Prop Creation

Feedback from our peers and our teachers told us that our narrative was not clear enough in our video; whilst it was clear that the main character was in mourning, it was not clear who he was mourning. To rectify this, we decided to make it clear through the use of one prop; a funeral booklet. This prop helped us to display to the audience that the main character was mourning a girl but it's up to the audience to interpret their relationship. We also included the quote "there's no place like home". This fits in with the lyrics of the song we have chosen as it says "Dorothy was right though"; it is a reference to the Wizard of Oz and saying "there's no place like home" perfectly fits in with our video as the main character has left his home.
We decided to leave the "In Loving Memory Of" section blank simply to save time because you won't be able to see it anyway.
Within the film, we will have a close up of the protagonist looking at this document.
