Setting and Props

 Welcome back everyone! Today I had the time to go to my setting in person and be able to photograph important props that will be shown in my opening production as well as the actual settings that these places will be as well as basic concepts of the props and my next post will be about the lighting techniques that will capture the blood and what type of blood id use on each prop.

Setting

Thursday in class I had the time to sketch out two of my setting places where my scenes will take place and this is only for half of the opening and doesn't include the scene with the dialogue between Danielle, Doctor Sherwood, and Shelby. These pictures below are the pictures that were sketched out in class.

Interior

I also went in my mom's office and took real photos of the setting indoors for the interiror of the office and next I will talk about some props I took pictures of including the gloves, tray, and medical tools that will be displayed in my opening. These pictures are what my sketch is based off of as you can see from my reference in the laptop.

Props

Some of the props that I will include in my opening are displayed below and I set them out in how they will be portrayed in the film but without the fake blood and lighting corrections

Medical Tools

The medical tools here will be used for the prop for Danielle since she is a nurse going through residency and in the beginning of the opening it's seen that she is pulling out tools and displaying them on a tray with a light blue paper underneath. The tools will be bagged in a sterile packaging as well to fully portray the narrative world. Some of the tools will be pulled out and some will be remaining in the bag because Danielle does stop her work halfway when she notices her unfinished "work" in the corner of the clinic room.

Gloves and Masks

The gloves and masks are a crucial prop to this opening as it's seen to be proper PPE protection that is utilized by many medical professionals and without it the story wouldn't mirror the narrative world as closely as possible. This is a visual representation of how the gloves would be displayed, however, they will have a more used and bloody look in the actual opening. For my actress, I will have to shoot an entire scene with mainly her gloves and close ups of her face.
