Props Planning

Glasses

We have decided to use geek glass with tape wrapped around them, as it is a typical stereotype of a geek. It also emphasises the fact that she think she is meeting someone really fit and then he turns up. The use of the tape shows that he could be clumsy therefore always breaking his glasses and just using tape because he can’t afford to buy new ones.
Hair gel

We decided to use hair gel, as it will make everything think that the boy is really cool spiking his hair up. During the getting ready section of the film we never see his face so these props are essential for the audience to establish an image of the person. We have used props to make it look like the boy is cool and then we have decided to make him geeky to fall everyone into thinking he is cool.
Laptop

The laptop is a common indicator of young people. The use of msn on laptop is also an indicator to the audience that although we cannot see the people’s faces they are off a young age (university students). We have also decided to show a picture of a fit guy, as this will make the audience think that that is whom she is going to meet.
Nail Varnish

We decided to use nail varnish, as it will look like a girly night in getting all dressed up to meet a boy. It will show closeness with the girl and her friends. She is going to meet a boy and the girls friends are helping her to get ready by doing her hair nails and make up.
Train Ticket

We decided to use a train ticket to make it look like he was actually making the train journey. We decided to make the credits appear on the train ticket, as it is an interesting use of a prop. This prop will indicate the fact that he has travelled to meet this girl.
