Props

The Props we have used for our film are;

- the 'Stan' teddy
- the remote control
- the toy snakes from IKEA
- Alfie's rugby kit from his school
- My bunch of keys
- Alfie's school bag
- Alfie's everyday clothes
- A child's book
- A lamp and a puzzle

These all tie in very well with our film, as they are props used in a young boys life. they create a continuity with the audience, so they understand Alfie's character. They represent different aspects of his character; the Southpark teddy shows Alfie is older than his years, the rugby uniform shows he is still at school. The book, puzzle and lamp show he likes reading and challenging himself, before bed as it is in the scene where he falls asleep. The keys and school bag show he is old enough to be trusted with these items, he has a sense of responsibility. The toy snakes from IKEA show he dreams of soft, toy snakes hurting him; not scaly monstrous snakes, this contradicts his mature take on other aspects of his life, such as owning a bunch of keys.
