Prop list for our thriller

Thriller research- more props

With the he development of our new idea has come the need for use of props. So far the two most essential props that have emerged from our idea are fake money and a duffel bag. This links into the shot of the man packing money into a duffel bag just before he is leaving the house. 

As we developed our story board, we now have introduced the shot in which two policemen are chasing the man through the forest. As they are policemen we need to make it clear, therefore we are going to need two police officers uniforms for our sequence as well. I thought we would go for an authentic look to create the best effect. On top of this, we will need many other props. For example,

  1. A safe, preferably with a number dial rather than an electronic dialling pad.
  2. Fake money, either Euro's, US dollars and Great British Pounds to be inside the safe.
  3. A hard drive to be inside the safe also.
  4. A normal bedroom environment, e.g bed, bathroom, desk and chair etc.
  5. Duffel bag for money to be placed inside.
  6. Policeman uniforms.
  7. Car (police car if possible), if not then an unmarked car.
This is our first list of props that we want in our opening title sequence for the time being.

I own a duffel bag, but none of us have fake money, so we did some research on ebay and amazon to see how much it was. Its not too expensive so we decided that when we need to we will order some, so we can make our scene look as realistic as possible. At first we were going to use pounds, but then we changed our minds to use Euros. We did this because we felt that Euros were more of an internationalized currency.
