Props and schedule
- 1. Props list AND SCHEDULE
- 2. We used a phone for a prop in most of our background footage, in our montage for the beginning of the documentary and in some of our voxpops. Most of the time, we would show the person using social media on their phone as this is the main focus of our documentary.
- 3. We also used computers as props for our background footage and for mise-en-scene in our interviews. This is because a computer can access social media AND can be used for education –meaning it links in with our topic.
- 4. In our home video, we used revision notes as a prop along with a mobile phone to reflect the ‘typical’ routine of a teenager as the argument of our documentary focuses on how social media interrupts with education.
- 5. We used a laptop in our home video to convey how a student would work at home, making it more realistic.
