Costumes And Props!

We had to clearly think about what sort of props we needed to make a film work but addsing childlike props in it. We instantly thought straight away the most idealistic childlike prop is a teddybear as every child has one when they are younger it is like a symbol of their age and some children confide in them like a friend, and i think this worked well in our film, as our child is getting neglected and her teddybear is as if it is her only friend to confide into and it is the only person she can talk to, but we also wanted to tell a story by using some props and the teddybear shopws a little bit of the story highlgihting neglect, but we needed something to tell the story of a family, then we thought of a book, including photos but also including her thoughts and feelings about her life, as we are not using speech in our film, we thought this was a good idea, to show how our child feels about her present life. to contain both items we used a childlike girly bage, pink buit quite small just big enogh to contain the teddybear and the book so she isnt carrying them everywhere, as the minute they are taken from the bagt we want them to be of some importance so it isn't like they are dragged the whole way through the film without any meaning.
