Jude Clark AS Media Production 2050

Props

Gun: For the guy we used a Walter PPK Pistol replica, these guns were very common, and although it was a replica is had all the same features as a real one would. It just wouldnt shoot real or any bullets

Whiskey/Bottle: For the whiskey bottle we used an old, pink, glass container. Althought it was ping, it didnt really matter since the film was being made black and white

Telephone: For the telephone we used a vintage phone with a spin dial, because a phone with buttons wouldn't have been around in conventional Noirs

Typewriter: The typewriter was a 'Good Companions' by imperial 50's-60's and this was also a good prop since it wasn't mechanical which would have been to ahead of convnetional Noir

Cigarettes: We used fake, plastic and cotton cigerette. This is because we were't allowed to smoke on school premises so we had to use fake ones, even if we weren't lighting real ones

 

Using time accruate props was very difficult, but seemed like a necesity to us. We wanted props that atleast looked like they came from around the time that Noir was set in. Although many problems arose with getting picture for our Noir. But this was only because we forogt about it five minutes before we planned to film.

 

Location

Office: For the offce scene we used a photography room, this was because we needed bare walls with no modern day things, such as posters and signs. It also helped having blank walls, because the sahdow of the blinds cutout appleaed more since it was flat and plain

Drug deal: For the swap of the drugs we used Elm street, and old cobbly street int eh city near the Cathederal. This was perfect due to there being no moderng technology inview of the shot, and the cobbly streets created a better atmosphere for the swap.
