Props

The image above is of the BB gun we used as a real gun in the film. We needed this as basically all Crime and Gangster films have gun fights and just a general use of guns in them. The gun is used as a dramatical device and adds to making the film a more believable Crime and Gangster themed film. The gun is used by Mani and when shot has edited in sound effects of a real gun shot. We used this as a prop to add a feeling of the character of having 'no fear'. We also used it as in the film one of the characters gets killed by the other so we had to have some type of prop that would be able to do this job and look realistic in the process.  

The picture above is of the phone used in the film. Don pulls this out of his pocket when recieving a message from Mani, this is a good prop and is used well as most teenagers communicate via mobile phone nowadays. We used this phone as it is a relatively new high end phone that many people would want. As the two boys are criminals it doesn't seem like something they could afford but we decided we could still use it as we could say that he stole it. This would show the desire for this type of phone and it is the type of phone our target audience may want to have themselves.

We use this prop as a set up to a part in the intro that creates suspense. We did this by getting one of the characters to send a text to the other which gives part of the story-line away. It half tells you what is going to happen in that scene.

We did not discard any props as all the ones we initially thought of fitted the genre perfectly or could fit around it if necessary.
