Props and Locations

Location

Office

The office space will be used in the opening scene, when we first see Karen and Joe, to connote the formal tone of he workplace.  Alex is providing this location.  The normality of the location will connote a conventional thriller, as the equilibrium part of the film.

Warehouse

A warehouse will provide an ominous atmosphere, due to the possibility of an echo, as well as the low key lighting made possible by turning the warehouse lights off. This could be used for chiaroscuro lighting, conventional of a thriller. Alex is providing this location.

Props

Van

Van is part of warehouse set, and is used by the woman to hide in. This is stored at the location that Alex is providing.

Van Keys

Allows the woman to enter the van, and, through the male characters dialogue, tells the audience that the van is owned by the company working in the warehouse.

Desk, Computer, Chair

These are typical of an office, and establish a normal, everyday setting and a Todorovian equilibrium to be disrupted. Again, these props are stored at the location, so Alex is providing them.
