Props for Antagonist

 

Lamp:

 

We used the lamp in our film to help signify to the audience the split personality of our antagonist. When our antagonist is talking to our protagonist the lamp is switched on, which keeps the room bright which gives of an calming feel as you wouldn’t expect a bad thing to happen in a well lit room. When he is finished talking he then goes to switch of the light filling the room with darkness. This darkness is more of what you would associate with the antagonist.

Black Leather Chair:

Our character spends most of the opening scene sitting within a large black leather chair. The leather chair signifies that he is a person of great importance (for whatever reason) just like the boss of a company would stereotypically have a leather chair at a desk. The way we used this prop was to keep our protagonists identity hidden as he had the chair turned away from the camera. This gave of connotations that whatever he has got planned, he doesn’t want people knowing it was him that had done it.
