This document outlines props and costumes needed for scenes in a TV drama about a teenage girl being stalked. For key scenes involving the main character receiving threatening text messages, her bedroom, and a staged attack, the production designer will source props like mobile phones, bedroom decorations, and fake weapons. Costumes will be provided by actors from home to depict characters' personalities and a college setting, while the stalker's all-black outfit will symbolize danger.
