Final Props: Explanation

Today I Have put together a final prop list for our production. The props we have chosen to use are all relevant to our film and each have a significant use/meaning:

Enchanted Necklace
This is the main prop for our film, it is the central piece of the whole storyline and the plot wouldn't make sense without it. The Necklace will be used in nearly every scene of the film.
Overview:
Ruby finds the necklace hanging from a tree near college, intrigued and enchanted by it she removes it and takes it with her. Later in the day she puts on the necklace and unusual things starts to happen, she is ignored by her friends and other in and around college. Eventually Ruby realises that the necklace is wiping her from existence and therefore removes the necklace and throws it away.
Description:
Its is a black rectangular onyx stone necklace, on black elastic. It was originally on a black rope but we removed it and replaced it with elastic due to its flexibility and durability.

(The several props listed below don't really have any significant purpose in the film other than scene setting and making the film seem more realistic.)

Ruby's College Bag
As Ruby is supposed to be a college student she will therefore require a college bag to carry her books in. The bag has been written in as part of her costumer as we feel it adds to her character profile but also makes her appear to be a more realistic student.
Description
Ruby's school bag is a large brown leather bag, with a gold buckle and long shoulder strap.


Ruby's I-pod
Again as Ruby is supposed to be a modern day student it is believable that she would own an i-pod and be listening to it on her way to college. As before it adds to her character making her more realistic.
Description
Purple I-pod nano, with long white earphones.


Emma's Phone
Emma is also a modern day college student and therefore uses her phone a lot, we added the phone as a prop in the penultimate scene as it helps to reveal the films plot twist.
