Possable Prop ideas

For this Thriller opening we have planned to do it in a forest setting which will have its own natural props E.g. Twigs , leaves and natural plants . This will make the setting more realistic. Some problems that may occur are that they may be in the wrong position e.g the trees may be in the way or passably blocking the light giving an unintentional shadow . To prevent this we will have to have some test shots to establish what time of day will be best for filming . Because we want a darker light we will have to film in the late afternoon .
We will need some thing that will make smoke to give a visual image if the car bonnet smoking. We we can use hot water, which will steam because its cold ! or we can use a smoke machine that can be plugged in to car adapter. We can use my car as the broken down car , as it is convenient .
