Props List

This props list shows the props we will be using and what they represent in our plot.


Mobile Phone:
 The mobile phone will be used to show the connection between who the girl thinks the stalker is (which will be a picture of a teenage boy) and who the stalker actually is.

Facebook Profile of the Girl:The profile would be used near the start to show the audience who exactly the stalker is targeting.

Facebook Profile for the Stalker:The use of a profile for the stalker is similar to the use of the phone in that it shows the alias the stalker has taken up in order to deceive the girl.
Towel:The use of the towel would be when she drops it as she enters her bedroom, suggesting an immediate vulnerability and weakness, amplifying the powerful nature of the stalker.

Tights:The tights would simply be used to show the audience that the girl is getting ready to go out and that she wants to wear nice clothes.

Mascara:While the girl is applying her mascara, the camera will be zoomed in on her eyes which adds a strong sense of voyeurism to the scene.
Blusher:Blusher would be used to show that the girl is preparing to go out and wants to try and look her best.

Dress with a Zip:The main purpose of the dress is the zip itself. The closing of the zip suggests the sealing of her fate, hinting that everything has already been decided.

High Heels:
Further adding to the sense of her fate being sealed, high heels would prevent the ability to make a quick escape, adding to vulnerability and weakness.

Red Nail Polish:The red nail polish will be used together with the photo of the girl with her friend in which it will spill over onto the photo to signify the threat that the stalker poses.


Photo of the Girl and a Friend:The photo of the girl and her friend will be used in conjunction with the red nail polish in that it will be spilled over onto it.


Photo of the Girl:The girl will be cut out of the previous image of her with her friend to show that she is the focus of the stalker. This is the photo that will be used in his book.

Red Marker:
This red marker will be used to circle the girl's picture (above) and finally cross it out to suggest that she has been murdered or 'crossed off his list'. It would coordinate would the scene involving the nail polish spilling over onto the photo, once again amplifying the major threat that the stalker poses. Also, as both the nail polish and marker are red, it even further adds to the threat as people would generally associate red with blood and death.

Large Boots:The stalker wearing large and heavy boots suggests his far superior strength over the girl and that he is a powerful, frightening man.

The book is a very important prop in the entire task, perhaps the most important. The stalker shows great care when handling this book, which shows that perhaps he's proud of it or obsessed with it. There are photos of many girls throughout the book and that shows just how mentally unstable the stalker is, from both the amount of girls in the book and the quality of the book. The whole idea of the book is similar to that of the opening to 'Se7en'.
This prop list was made by Kieran, annotations were added from all members of the group.

  1. A detailed prop list, including some excellent annotations that convey the signified meaning you are suggesting by choosing those props. I especially like your comment about the zip.
