The document outlines various props needed to film scenes for the movie "Daphne Watt". It discusses bringing money to purchase red bull cans, yogurt, sweets, and beans from the refectory. It also notes finding a computer and clock on campus to use in shots involving Daphne skyping her cat and a close-up of a clock. Careful planning was required to ensure all necessary props were acquired and available.
2. • We thought a lot about props when planning
the filming of Daphne Watt. We realised that
it would take a lot of planning to ensure that
everything went smoothly and it was
important that we were prepared.
– We each brought in a little bit of money on the
day so that we could buy everything we needed
and made sure that anything we didn’t buy we
had to hand.
3. Red Bull.
One of the ‘rules of survival’ that Daphne is told to
live by is ‘Never lose control’. Our initial idea was to
show her consuming alcohol, however we realised
that since we would be filming during daylight this
would be unrealistic so instead decided that it
would be more amusing and more like her
character to show her on a ‘red bull high’. This
involved a lot of planning in advance as we knew
that we would have to collect a lot of cans of red
bull in order for the scene to work. A member of
our group starting collecting them a week in
advance so that we would have about 20 on the
day.
4. Yoghurt.
Another one of the rules was
‘Never get too close’ so we
decided this scene would entail
Daphne noticing a boy she likes
whilst eating yoghurt, causing
her to lose concentration and
drip yoghurt down her face. This
meant that we would need to
bring a bit of money in on the
day in order to buy a yoghurt
from the refectory.
5. Sweets
Another rule was ‘Always be
wary of strangers’ which
involved Daphne taking sweets
from a suspicious looking
character. We knew that the
vending machines at college
provided these so all we needed
to do was make sure that we
were prepared and brought in
enough money to pay for them.
6. Beans.
‘Never draw attention to yourself’ was
another rule Daphne was told to live by.
The scene regarding this rule involved the
character spilling beans down herself in
the middle of town. We knew we had to
bring in money to buy these from the
refectory. We also knew that it may take
more than one take to get the shot we
wanted so we needed to make sure to
bring enough money to get some spare
beans just in case anything went wrong
and we needed to redo the shot.
7. Computer
One of the shots
involved Daphne talking
to her cat via the
software ‘Skype’; This
meant that we had to
find a computer to shoot
the screen on. We went
around college and
found various different
computers that would be
possible for us to use.
8. Clock
One of the shots we are
intending to use involves a
close up of a clock therefore
we needed to find one
appropriate. We went to
Castlefield house and found
one there that we could use.
