Prop selection

For props, we mostly need scraps of work and tools as well as the bomb. The tools are required to make Josephs desk look messy, signifying that the bomb is homemade as well as enforcing the intelligence and dedication of Joseph in achieving his goal. The tools which I will provide will consist of items such as screws, wire cutters, screwdrivers etc...

I have also been given the task of making the bomb which I have aimed to look like a block of C4. The draft bomb has been made using wires, candle sticks wrapped in packing tape, and an old clock. For the final bomb I will not use a standard clock as we want the time to stay still and not count down. This enables us to film multiple shots of Joseph crafting without the clock counting up or down. I will also try to make the bomb timer lit so that it is clearer to the audience as we are using low-key lighting. This reinforces it's significance in the scene.

Further props include article cut-outs as well as propaganda featuring previous terrorist attacks. This establishes the motive of Joseph, introducing the idea that he is obsessed with terrorism, aiming to perform an attack of his own.

Each of the props we are using therefore add to Josephs character development which we feel is important in the opening, by introducing these props gradually, the audience will become more intrigued and disturbed by the character Joseph.
