This document lists and describes props used in a trailer for a science fiction film. It includes a ghost pen that is used surreally by an invisible scientist, an electric chair modified to look disjointed and mad for a lab setting, a large whiteboard used to write science gibberish, and two laminators included to add machinery to laboratory shots and make the set look more realistic.

2. Ghost Pen!
The pen is a significant prop in our trailer,
being used by the invisible scientist as ‘The
Ghost Pen’. It is significant to our trailer
because of the surrealistic way it is used,
making it memorable and significant. It is a
simple prop to use and easy to get, also an
obvious reason to why we would use this. A
pen would have a more defined streak when
writing, which is the reason why we would
use this other than a pencil.
Electric Chair
The electric shock chair is another significant
prop within our trailer. Being the centre piece
of the lab shots we filmed. Having the wires all
over it makes it seem more disjointed and mad
which is what we wanted it to look like. This
would be better to use than a normal dining
room chair due to how grey and simple it is,
fitting in with the set we aimed for. Whereas a
dining room chair would look out of sorts and
too luxury for our set.
Dat Ghost Pen Dough! D:

So ghost like!!!
Not quite real
picture but
imagine this with
a few wires
sticking out. 

3. Experiment Whiteboard
The whiteboard we used because it was big and
significant, allowing us to write science gibberish that
would show up and look clever. By using this we were
able to make the diagrams the focus of the shots it
was involved in, making it easy for audiences to
notice and grasp an idea of what is happening. The
whiteboard is also within our power to find and use
which is another reason why we used this. It would
have been better to use than paper as it gives us more
freedom with the shots we wanted to make and allow
the actors to move around.
Laminators (Because they looked nice)
The laminators were easy pieces of machinery to
move around and get to the location we wished to
film in. We wanted to use them because they fitted
within the set in the laboratory shots, allowing us to
use them as props when turning the machine on and
off. These machines would be better to use than if we
made our own cardboard ones because it looks more
realistic with a solid object in the scene rather than a
tacky cardboard cut-out that makes our trailer look
cheap and takes away the horror like atmosphere we
intend to make.
