Props

Since our opening sequence was based on a reporter/detective finding a book filled with 'missing child' adverts, we decided that our props should be relevant. Here are some of the key props we decided to use:

• Rocking horse
• Leather bound note book (containing articles)
• Children's toys
• Dolls
• Candles
• Jewellery box [with spinning ballerina]
• Desk and desk chair
• Filing cabinet.

Our chosen location already had a desk, desk chair and filing cabinet situated in our chosen room, which meant all we had to do was find the other props, and collectively we owned it all already wich meant out budget was kept to a minimum.
