PLANNING : prop list

After extensive planning, as a group, we began to draw together what props we would need in order to bring our idea to life.


Fedora
This hat is prevalent during the era in which our story takes place. A time in which class is shown in the way in which you dressed. We felt that a fedora would be the ideal headwear for the setting the plot takes place in; 1930s London.






Bow Ties
During the 1930s bow ties were common attire for the upper-class members of society and a way of showing sophistication. They were a must for the fashion conscious man about town. 






False cigar
During the era in which our story takes place, tobacco was a large part of society. There was a divide between the rich, who smoked a cigar, and the lower classes, who smokes cigarettes. Cigars were seen as a sign of wealth and status. 











Typewriter
The staple of a stereotypical secretary and appropriate of the time.














False gun
In the fraught times of the big city, people only felt safe with a
pistol in their pocket.
