Location

The plan for our location was very simple, as shown by our storyboard. All we needed was a table and a chair in a dark area for our character to work at.

Props

After we created our storyboard, we realised that we should think about what props we will need for our film opening.

We thought about using the same gloves as we used for the previous pictures to express how poor our character is. The rips in the gloves emphasise how poor the character is as he may not be able to afford new gloves.

We also used a lot of school books to suggest how much he is working which is a theme in our film as it is the work that gets him stressed out. The books are all piled up on top of each other to suggest that he has a lot to do and that he needs to do much more. 

For additional effect, we used a syringe and a pair of scissors. The syringe was to show that the character in our opening sequence is a drug addict. This is because he is very poor and uses drugs to suppress his emotion as he has a bad past. The scissors were used to suggest danger which is a theme in the horror genre.
