Props

Below are pictures of props which I have created 

I wanted the Dolls to look as if they had been experimented on and abused. I looked at some of Hans Bellmars work then tried to see how his work could link into mine. I realised that I could cut off limbs and reattach them to parts to create the same effect. I first began to look at how I could use the material of the dolls to my advantage and what I could do with the material. I realised that the material was easy to draw on, I started to experiment with different colours to see what colour would create a "bruised" effect.

On this particular doll I wanted it to look like it had been beaten so the ribs, collar bone and eye been badly bruised. I then looked at what else i could do to the doll to make it more life like. I decided that i would make it look like it had been held captive because if this I tied her arms together and added bruising around the wrists to make it look like it had been tied together for a long time. I also cut off the dolls leg and attached an arm to the socket this linked back to Hans Bellmar.

The material of the doll allowed me cut into the body without it breaking I used this to my advantage and created cuts on different parts of the body.

I also started writing on the doll as if I were trying to call them that, I also tied a rope to the dolls neck to make it look like she had been hung. 

 I cut off some of the dolls hair I decided to keep the hair and use it as a prop. This will look good next to one of the experiments as it will be clear that "girl" has done this and suggests that it was only just done.

Here are the Props which I have bought.

 When It came to dressing the barn I wanted the props to be an eclectic taste, I decided to look at different things and see how I could use these to make the scene look disjointed.
I chose this prop head as I think it looks very sinister as you can't see any features.

 I was inspired by Alice In Wonderlands Mad Hatter Tea Party, I thought that these dice would really work as they are quite playful and childlike but is going to be put in a sinister room which creates a juxtaposition.

 I liked these tea cups and teapot as again they are very playful compared to the room and other things in the room. i.e the Dolls.

I wanted to incooperate this bunny hat into the film as i felt it was something quite quirky i decided that the "girl" will be wearing it.

I also added bits which wouldn't necessarily be put in the scene to add surrealism
