Props
We did a Google image search and found ideas for our props and costumes.
Here is an example of the ball of wool Benjamin will be playing with. It would have to be plain white so that it fits in with the period of time. Also, it shows the beginning of his schizophrenia.
We are going to need to use a bed in one of ours scenes so we needed to see what bed covers looked like in the 1940s.
Here are some of the toys that were very popular in the 1940s, they are bought for Benjamin but he was never interested in the only thing he was interested in was his ball of wool.
We are also, going to take some images of our own to show some more props for example, the photos, plant, chairs, lamp, frills, suit cases, bathroom soaps, towels and a radio.
Props are one thing, Setting and decor are another. I hope you realise that this is a huge challenge to convince your audience that this is taking place in the 1940s. Good luck and cover every square inch of the frame to check that nothing shouts 2011
