Fourth Scene Setting and Props

For the villain's secret hideout room we need a small space as it's supposed to be somewhere in the villain/hero's house that only the villain persona knows about. we walked around the school to see if there were any places we could use for filming. It needed to be somewhere dark so as to connote that the villain is a very dark character.

After a while we decided the best place to us would probably be the theatre as it it's completely black in there with all the lights off.

We are using a spacious corner of the theatre as we need a corner to show the villain ha pictures up of the hero and pictures of clocks all around the room. The excess space isn't an issue as we can use lighting and camera techinques such as different shots and camera movements to make the place appear smaller and more contained.

We stuck pictures on the wall of me as the hero character along with pictures Imogen stalked off of my facebook. We also ripped out pieces of newspaper and printed headlines relating to heroic activities such as 'Hero does it again!' an 'Baby saved from burning blaze!' this has been done to show that the villain is obsessed with the hero character and and to connote the fact he knows about the hero and also captivated by the hero's personality and his life. On the adjacent wall we have many pictures and technical diagrams of clocks to indicate that the villain is interested and fixated with time as he is trying to obtain the hero's power to speed up, slow down and stop time.

On the table there were notes, as if scattered around by the villain, in the picture you can see a picture of a clock this has been done to further show that clocks and timepieces are always bouncing around in the villain's scattered mind. The villain's table has been scattered with papers and notes to show that like the table, his mind is a scattered mess.

Another prop we used in this scene, in addition to the papers on the walls and on the table, was an awesome brass pocket watch lent to us by mine and Kirby's friend John. The watch was important to the piece as it further indicates the villains  attraction to and obsession with time. It's also needed as we see the villain in this scene attempting to stop time, in fact we see the watch before the villain showing this is what he does, this is his life.
