Setting Up Props Scene 2 Shot- Implementing

 Setting Up -

In today's post I will be setting up one of the most intracule props for our film. These props will be used in Shot 1 Based on the research provided in this post: The Procedures of Media. The learn how and making of a Film. 2025: Using props effectively-research and The Procedures of Media. The learn how and making of a Film. 2025: Placing down Cups: Research, I can set up a comprehensive layout format for our film. To keep track of the moving props and lets me practice more without getting the shots in the way. 

The Set Up-

Using the research given, I was able to set up the props. I do not have all the red solo-cups yet, so I used cups around the house. The Clue board game was set by just playing the game to get genuine play. So here it is:

An overhead shot of a table to get prop placement.

Scene 2 Shot 4

The positioning of the cups was set up with the intention to show relation, and this picture accomplished that idea. But without the red cups, the 60:30:10 rule cannot be applied like I wished for this scene. This rule was discussed in an earlier blog post: The Procedures of Media. The learn how and making of a Film. 2025: 60-30-10 and Color-Theory Cinematography: Research. When Amazon delivers the cups then we are full sail ahead. To continue the idea of props, Clue the board game. This boardgame's card blends too much into the tablecloth. This could be fixed by using a different darker, but not to dark, tablecloth. Maybe blue? To get more of the 60:30:10 rule, that was just mentioned.

A Revelation:

When taking this placement shot, I realized that this shot was good. So good in fact, it could work for our film. This overhead shot could show the host picking up after the party with more emphasis and entertainment compared to the original idea. With this new shot in mind, I need to get a better positioning of the camera.

Take Away from Setting up Prop Scene 2 Props:

The prop set up was a success with many of the positions able to work while someone picks it up. Along with that, the balance of colors is not harsh, and the cups showing people's relationships with each other. The revelation that an overhead shot will add more to the overall film than I expected.
