To reinforce the realism of our mise en scene we created an imitation of evidence markers that we have seen many times before in television shows such as 'C.S.I' and 'Criminal Minds'. By using these props we feel that it will make our mise en scene look extremely realistic and believe to our viewers.
As we want our opening sequence of Fraction to look as authentic as possible, as a group we decided that we would use overalls as shown in the picture above for the actors who are playing the parts of the forensic investigators to wear while they are assessing the crime scene. By using this prop as a group we feel that it will make the opening sequence look more realistic and will also show a clear designation of roles between the cast and make it much easier for the audience to differentiate between the characters rather than having all of the detectives dressed similar.
The body bag is another prop that we would like to use in order for the opening sequence of Fraction to look as realistic as possible. The body bag will contain the female victims body in one scene, and the distorted males in the other scene. The body bag that we will be using in our opening sequence will be black rather than blue, because the colour black is an eerie colour which represents death. It fits the mood and the opening sequence a bit better because the scene will be shot at the scene of a murder.
Police tape is one of the most vital props that we will be using in our opening sequence. By using police tape alone, the audience are able to understand that the opening scene is being shot at a crime scene without the use of dialect. It will help to make the opening sequence look more legit and realistic. We will tie the police tape around the trees at tooting bec common. It will be surrounding the area in which the victim was murdered.
Another prop which we are going to need in order for us to film our opening sequence successfully is fake blood, which myself (Izak), Kadeem and Tanika will attempt to make with icing sugar, red colouring dye, cocoa powder, golden syrup and blue pen ink. We included the ink and syrup to make the blood look more dark and realistic. We used the blood for our antagonist (Kadeem) to make him look more sinister and evil as well as confused and insane. We used the majority of the blood to splatter on the walls to make the area look more grim and scary.
