Finding Our Props

The typewriter is very suitable for our opening sequence of the thriller, not only the sound it produces loud and clear it is also a working typewriter and therefore we can use it to write our title with. The typewriter is an important feature at the end of our thriller as our plan is to zoom up on the words that the detective previously wrote after he is shot by the femme fatal and she walks away.

The desk is key to indicating that the set is a detective office, it will be in the centre of the set and our detective will sit at it typing on the typewriter and making panicked telephone calls.

All of these props are old fashioned and look like the furniture/typewriter you would expect to see in a 1940s noir.
