22 - Props and Costumes

PROPS AND COSTUMES

The only specific props I will be needing is a small black sketchbook with some pre-done drawings made inside. I will also have a pair of binoculars as the protagonist, but this contributes more to the costume than as a prop.

The costumes for the protagonist will consist of two similar outfits, I want these outfits to be primarily blue. This is because the protagonist will stand out more in blue in the areas for filming, as well be differentiated from the dog who is yellow. The dog, Scout, will also be wearing a red bandanna which will help him to stand out in areas where his coat may lead him to blending in with the scenery. Lastly the cat, Merlin, will not be wearing anything extra but I will be sure to film him in a predominantly white and brightly lit room so that his black fur will still be able to reflect plenty details on his face.


Here is scout wearing his red bandanna, along with a photograph of the bandanna alone,.


This is the first outfit to be used in the beginning half of the video,
And this is the outfit for the second half of the video.











And here are the props that will be used in the video, including the sketchbook, it's seen pages and the binoculars.

The main reason for many of the re-shoots are simply due to not being very happy with the result, whether that be because of the camera angle, lighting, or because I forgot to focus the camera before recording... Which happened more times than I care to mention In the video above is the original video I used for one of the shots in which the protagonist simply sits at their desk. Here I would continue to get up and sit down a number of times so that afterward I could chose which specific sit down was truly perfect. During this process, however, Scout came upstairs to join me, so I thought it might be nice to have the shot include him the background as he sits on the windowsill, similarly to the first shot in the video. Even so, Scout thought it would be better if he just stood up looking out the window, a...
