2. • In this presentation I will be
explaining what each character
will need for the scene and
each prop that we will be using
and the significance of that
prop and character.
3. • Interior Scene
• Michael, Zain and two Asian boys
• Old television, DVD and posters
• The reasons why I am using these props
within my scene is because they have
relevance to the story but also to the
characters in my film, as the TV will help to
make the scene feel as though it is 2001. I
have used a DVD from which the news report
will be played off. The reason why I am using
different posters within my scene is because I
am portraying that Zain is a normal boy his
room is like any boys. He is different, he
doesn’t have too many expensive products
within his room all he has is what a normal 18
year boy would have in his room.
4. • Interior Scene
• Michael & Jack
• In this scene they will not be as many
props as there is in the first scene, but its
not the props that create significance but
the characters and their dialogues in this
scene. Each character has significance in
their own way as from this scene onwards
the conflict between the boys begins.
5. • Interior Scene
• Michael and Beth
• This is one of the most important scenes
of our film as from this scene onwards
Michaels life starts to fall apart. In this
scene the main props will be the two
glasses from which Michael and Beth will
drink from. Other props will be the table
and chairs that Michael and Beth will be
sitting around as the scene is set in a
restaurant.
6. • Interior scene
• Michael and Doug ( Michaels father)
• We are using our teachers house in this scene as
our teacher is quite old fashioned and what we
are trying to portray in this scene is that Michaels
father is a racist. We are going to do this by using
props such as rogued clothes to show that his dad
is a rough man, we have also used a glass of
whisky we have done this to portray that his
father is a drunken person who likes his drink.
• Everything will be portrayed in the way the
character dresses and the way he speaks to
portray his racist background and hatred for
people of the same ethnicity as Zain. Other props
used in this scene is a DVD which has burned on to
it the speech given by bush. We used this speech
to show the racist side of Michaels father. We
have also used a TV which the DVD will be playing
off.
7. • Interior scene
• Michael
• In this scene Michael will walk
into the next room, in this
scene we haven't used as much
as we should have as what we
are portraying is that Michael is
alone, there is nobody by his
side now. So the main prop will
be light and objects in Michaels
dining room which represent
him.
8. • Exterior scene
• Michael, Zain and Michael
• This is the final scene and is very
important to our film as the ending is
what will give a conclusion to the
feud between the boys. We used the
park to show a bit of realism as if
someone was going to be beaten it
would not be outside the school
gates.
• Props used are clothes worn by the
actors, bags that the actors will be
holding as the scene will begin with
the main actor walking from outside
school.
