The document discusses the props and costumes used in two sequences of a short film. The first sequence used objects from Portobello Market as props without additional planning since it was filmed on location there. The second sequence took more effort as props like coffee and eggs were used to emphasize it was morning time, and costumes like pajamas and dressing gowns showed it was morning. Overall, while props and costumes were not the most challenging part, they were still important for setting the tone and clarifying ideas in the short film.

1. Props and Costume
NB: Images above are not related directly to coursework, just setting theme for
props and costume.

2. 1st Sequence Props and Costume
The 1st sequence was incredibly useful in terms of props and costume. This is because
since it was real and public street footage, I didn’t have to plan or construct props and
costume, what I filmed became the props and costume.
Portobello market has a lot of interesting stalls, and various wares being sold. The photos
above are screenshots from the 1st sequence of the short film on Portobello road. Reason
why I included Portobello is because that is the part of the first sequence that has the most
objects going on on screen.

3. 2nd Sequence Props and Costume
The 2nd sequence was definitely more challenging for props and costume. The main effect of
props and costume in the second half was to emphasize to the audience that the time being
shown in the morning.
As you can see above I have used various breakfast symbols such as coffee and eggs.
I have used morning routine symbols such as brushing teeth.
And in terms of costume I have my character Chris in pajamas and my character Amelia in a
dressing gown to make it clear it’s the morning.

4. Overall Analysis of Props and
Costume
Props and Costume aspects for my short film were
certainly not the most difficult.
However they are undeniably important for setting
the tone and feel for my short film and just because
they weren’t the hardest part of the coursework
process, it does not mean they are less important.
Without props and costume my short film could be
very confusing, so in other words they help to
solidify my ideas.
