Mise-en-scene: Props

An important eye-line match will take place within our opening two minutes and involves the revealing of ‘Jimmy’, staring at a photo of his younger sister as a little girl.
This will be in stark contrast with a photo shown of her on the news looking ‘worse for wear’. This deliberate use of juxtaposition will help set up and exhibit the genre of the film, coming of age, and the results the process can have.
For this an actual baby picture of Alice, who is playing ‘Ruby’, has been edited to appear like it was taken at the time of the late 1970s. We looked at photographs from the time to see what it should look like and what effects we should use. It is also going to be put in a photo frame from the 70s/80s, and will be placed on a fire place (see location photos) alongside other real photographs and props from the 1980s and before.
