Prop list: porridge scene/Final conversation

Props and location requirements for shooting scene labeled "porridge scene"

The scene itself is simply the introduction to the smiling cast and as such I wanted to set the tone as bleak, miserable and altogether uncomfortable. In order to do this there was a colour code for costumes and a prop list the reflected the atmosphere.
Props included were:
- 4 white bowls.
- 4 non polished metal spoons (any spoon that had been aged would do as then it would add to the "dullness" of the room)
- Porridge oats (porridge is made on set as to ensure that I am not making actors eat cold porridge, although for the sake of appearance the porridge has to be un-flavored and as such the cast are not happy)

Scene requirements. The room itself was chosen due to the lack of exceedingly bright colours and the large glass windows that provided much needed natural light to a scene. along with this I ensured that the room also contained a few things for the scene to make sense.
- 1 large wooden table
- 4 wooden chairs

The scene will be re-used that same day for a second scenes shoot. The Final conversation.

For this I would simply require the same table layout (being that the scene is in the same location) and 2 glasses filled with whiskey. For both legal and logical reasons I am unable to actually give my actors Whiskey and a nice alternative came in the form of Heinz baby apple juice from lidl. The drink  itself does not taste bad and looks like the whiskey on camera.

Costumes for both scenes had to reflect earlier scenes. For the Porridge scene i need Antony to where the same clothes as the previous scene, only with a different colour top. This reflects a change in attitude from the previous scene  in which he was depressed whilst in this scene he is now on drugs.

All the cast used within the Porridge scene (Grace Hardy, Connor Evans, Antony Beachump and Annabel Perillo) are required to wear dull dark colours as to correspond to the theme of the short.
