Set for Tunnels

 Mise-en-scene - Set & props

For our set in our Tunnels, we are planning on shooting a handful of the shots in our main actresses room. Her room is very simplistic, clean, and straightforward which is something that would definitely go with Ana. Ana is supposed to be a messier type of person considering how she handles her work, but it's something we could easily do once we're in our main actresses room. She also has a small bulletin board that has pictures of her with her friends back in middle school, along with trinkets or things that show her accomplishments. It won't be hard to get a hold of the things we need, especially because I have connections! This is something we plan to take shots of to show how Ana used to be social at some point in her life. 

List of what we need and why:

- English essay, APUSH homework/notes, and calculus homework. We need these for the shots when we are showing Ana doing her homework, as she also takes harder classes, we need work from more challenging and rigorous classes. I have essays we will use for the film and I have friends that are able to let us borrow their APUSH and calculus homework.

- Medals around the room or in a specific place to prove Ana's accomplishments and hard work throughout a couple years. I have my own medals and pins that we will use. I also will be getting more medals from other friends to use in the film.

- Pictures/polaroid or other proof of the fact that she used to once be a social butterfly or once had special, loving connections with people she no longer has it with. I have many pictures that we might use but we will be using the pictures my main actress has in her room to show the friendships.

- Flags, posters or merch of colleges such as FSU, UF, UM, UMICH and FIU to show her commitment and things that encourage her to work harder on herself in order to improve her future. I have FIU merch because my brother's friend works there so they give me several things. One of my friend's sister has FSU merch I am able to borrow, along with my other friend whose mom is often running tasks in UM is able to get me some flags or shirts of the school. A close friend of mine is from Michigan and his parents attended UMICH and are able to let me borrow a couple things as well!

- Laptop/computer that she will use to get her home work done and will be used in the first couple shots of her doing homework in her room. We have several computers that we could use but we will probably end up using my main actress' computer or her sister because she is currently enrolled in some of the classes Ana is supposedly in. 

- Phone, for specific scene when her alarm turns on abruptly towards the beginning of the film, and for when she is putting music to listen to. We will be using my main actresses phone for this, if anything O have an extra phone we could always use for backup.

- Headphones for when she begins to listen to music during lunch time. My partner had over-the-head headphones that we will be using.

- Backpack to store her school supplies as we will get shots of her backpack next to her desk or next to her when she sits down. Along with shots of her walking with it on. For this, we will use my main actresses backpack or mine. 

- Sandwich of any kind for when we get the shot of Ana doing her homework during lunch time. I will be the one making the sandwich or any following snacks for this scene.

- Costumes for Ana and Mrs. Larsson who is the school therapist that later speaks to Ana towards the end of the film. For Ana, her outfit will be simple, plain colors without any designs or art on them. I have several black full zip jackets or dark colored hoodies we could use if something does not work out with my main actresses wardrobe.

- Glasses because Mrs. Larsson will be dressed semi-formal as she is a therapist but is also at school at the same time so it won't be insanely formal. Adding glasses to her costume will help support this. She also might have a laptop for her desk in the office if we do specific shots but I doubt we will need one. If we end up needing one all of a sudden, I have an extra laptop that doesn't even turn on we could always use to simply prop the idea of it. I was also thinking a notepad and pen for her to "jot down" what Ana says she is feeling like.
