Ideas for props

The props used within this film need to be relevant to that of a thriller film therefore will be ironic to each character.




Cigarettes are going to be smoked by each character to show there importance. Cigarettes are very important in a thriller film and are often being used by an evil character or someone showing importance such as Helen Boham Carter in fight club or the maffia men of Reservoir Dogs


The gun is another generic signifier of a thriller film and will be used by the two henchmen to kill the drug carrier of Ali.
Guns are always being used as they show importance to a character and are typical of any gangster/maffia man to be carrying around.
Guns also have a way of showing enpowerment of a character and are used to help create tension and fear.






Red Lipstick will be worn by Monika Quiero to show her importance as dominant femme fatale of our thriller. It will also show her as an evil character typical to a thriller such as Uma Therman in Pulp Fiction.







Cross Necklace will be worn by a either Monika or the man held hostage to show the religious irony of the mise-en-scene. Religion often plays a large role in thrillers such as Macha in Revolver is always seen with a cross around his neck even though he's this sinful character.



Industrial Storage Crates these are going to be where the drug carrier of Ali is going to be held hostage and is a vital aspect of our thriller as they will be highlighting the violence and harsh reality of this killing.
