Prop/Set Design:

Hey Cambridge! On Monday, I began filming! There were a lot of different props I had to set out to create the setting of her room. As well as having to clear out my personal things from my room as this is now Jess's room. So, here's what I did first!

Here's a little before video of my room:

Here's a very short time lapse of me clearing out a dresser:

In a previous blog post, I shared the making of the positive pregnancy test, which is one of my biggest props in this opening! But as you can see, I added many more props around the room. Here are some closeups of the most interesting ones. 

- I created a little journal/sketchbook. "GET ME OUT OF HERE" sounds super dramatic but it also shows that she's already struggling. I added little emo doodles like a skull, eye with a piercing & liner, broken heart, and etc. I also added a J+S doodle and crossed it out to show there is something going on between them.

- I made lipstick marks for the mirror. This was really fun to do... I used the lip products shown in the picture and just kissed a piece of paper. Then to make it look homemade, I ripped it off the paper rather than cutting it. Finally, I stuck it on the mirror with tape.

- I compiled different posters with popular punk and rock artists during the 2000s that I could print out.

- I made a concert ticket for a hypothetical Avril Lavigne concert. I found a ticket template on Canva and edited things like adding her name. Then, I printed it out a cut it out, so it looked realistic!

This was a really fun process of clearing out my things and picking what I want to use to showcase who 'Jess' is. It was also very challenging and gave me lots of creative freedom. This is only a small part of my production process, so stay tuned for more!
