Props, Costumes, Lighting and Mise en Scene Research

Props, Costumes, Lighting and Mise en Scene Research...

Luckily for our group, the sequence we have created is fairly simple and so this part of preparation shouldn't be too difficult. For props all we need is a shopping bag full of groceries and two cars, preferably small hatchbacks without tinted windows. The shopping will be easy and hopefully the cars will be too, as we will have adults on set who can lend us their cars for the few hours we need them.

 For costumes we want our actor Fran to wear a work suit; perhaps a blazer skirt and a shirt and our dead body played by Adam will wear a white shirt (the bottom half of his torso won't be visible.)

Mise en scene will be unpredictable. We have no clue how busy the streets or the car park are going to be. In my head preferably I'd like the streets to be empty; two or three people walking by at most.

Lighting may also be difficult. As it's winter the sun disappears fairly quickly and a solid consistent daylight may be difficult. In the car-park it should be easier as I want a hard artificial light which we can do manually and not have to rely on the lights already there if they don't fit.
