Props to...

Props!!

Haha, see what I did there? Props to like congratulations but props like what we are using in our film - I know, hilarious. Anyways, in order to truly sell the 2005 look of our film, we will be utilizing a variety of props and accessories. Here is a basic breakdown of what we plan to include and what it will do:

• Tiny butterfly hair clips:
• Notorious to the early 2000's fashion trends, these butterfly clips were all the rage. Lately "Y2K" fashion has been trending and we have noticed a comeback of these clips as well. Our main character, Berkley, will either put these in her hair or have them placed near her as she gets ready for her birthday.
• Trophies and medals: 
• In order to display her lifelong passion, dance, around Berkley's room there will be trophies and medals from her dance career. 
• Jewelry
• 
  To express Berkley's girly side and sense of style, we will have an assortment of jewelry around her room as well as some she will wear when she gets ready.
  
• Neon sign:
• Like the one shown on the right side, it will be a statement piece in her room, matching the lava lamp (which we hopefully will have!!).
• Magazines
• Stand alone mirror
• She will use this to aid her getting ready. It will show how focused and how much detail she puts into getting ready that day. This will hint at the significance of the day.
• Throw/decorative pillows and pink bedding:
• A staple for every 2000's girl's bedroom.
• Disposable cameras
• House phone/Landline
  
  
  
• Clothes (pink, bright,youthful)
• Diary:
• She will be shown writing about her excitement regarding the day and the audience will get to know her feelings. Possibly could have a voiceover to introduce Berkley's voice.

• Bedazzled ipod
  
• Pen
• Calendar (dry erase board)
• Pink fuzzy socks:
• What teenage girl doesn't have pink fuzzy socks
• CDs / CD player 
• DS:
• Pink DS, a very popular gaming system back in the early 2000s that many people played with their friends or individually. 
• Happy birthday necklace
• Birthday banner / decorations
