Above is a picture of a retro T.V. which we thought could make a nice addition to our list of possible old-fashioned props which we are using in our film. We also liked it because of the colour, it is a very rich red which contrasts a lot of the props we have found which are very old and dull.
Below is a picture of a grammar-phone which we hound in The Arches in Ramsgate. It was the only grammar-phone which we found in all of the antique shops which we looked in, however we are not sure whether or not we would like to use a grammar-phone or a standard record player but we are certain that we would like at least one of them in our final film.
Above is a picture of a collection of musical items such as records, record cover's an amp and an old XLR lead. There is also a red desk lamp. We thought that some of the antiques in this picture could be useful for our film. We would ideally like to get a couple of records from differnt time periods to show what time period it is in the shot and to add an element of authenticity to it just like Martin Scorsese did in "Goodfellas". We would also like to get some good audio recording equipment such as an NTG-2 so that we can get the exact audio which comes from the record player so that we can record all of the little imperfections so that we can make the audio more authentic.
Below is a picture of a an old fashioned game similar to pinball which is a retro arcade game which could be a nice addition to the list of props in our list.
Above is a picture of a couple of "Baby Champ", glasses which we found in The Arches in Ramsgate. Thought that there glasses were very interesting because they have a different shape compared to modern campagne flutes. They also have a gold rim which makes them look quite expensive and they are "Baby Champ" which is a very collectable and recognizable kind of glass.
Below is a picture of a retro radio which we though could work alongside the record player all the grammar-phone in order to create our the mostly diegetic soundtrack in our film. We would use this at different times to the record player to show the transition to a differnt time period. We also really liked the colour of this particular radio as it's a very rich mustardy yellow.
These two pictures are both of old cameras however the camera pictured above is a bit older than the one picture below. We are planning to focus one of the sequences in our film around a camera and the oe pictured below is the kind of camera which we had pictured in our minds before we had gone out to get draft shots because it is silver with a large black strip through it, quite similar to old olympus and pentax cameras.
Above is a picture of a typewriter which we found in The Arches in Ramsgate. This typewriter stood out to us because it was theoldest one which we had found. We would like to use a typewriter for foley two introduce the narrator's dialogue and we are also thinking of having a couple of shot of them in our film.
Below is a picture of a pocket watch which belongs to Fran's Dad. We thought that it might be quite interesting to have a shot of a pocket watch in one of the flashback scenes.
