In our film we have included multiple scenes where the characters Bobby and Poppy are filmed speaking in an interview setting. We wanted to make the interview setting a little less boring, so we were interested in the idea of creating a prop for the background. We took inspiration from the show 'First Dates', as they have a background setting which looks like a heart printed onto wooden walls that have been painted white.
This made their interview scenes look a bit more interesting and also helped to let the audience know that these were private interview sections which took place at a different time to the actual date/current time in the show. We figured that this would be a good thing to include in our film, to help give the same effect.
Our idea for the background setting was to create a big white heart, which has a smaller white heart with pink mosaic throughout it, with a black arrow being struck through the heart. We plan to hang this up against a white/grey wall - this will be our interview setting.
To create the heart background, we used two large A2 sheets of white paper. We cut a large heart out of one of the white sheets, and a slightly smaller heart out of the second sheet. This second heart was our 'mosaic heart'. We cut multiple sheets of thick pink card into small triangular and trapezium shapes, and stuck these in a mosaic pattern onto the smaller heart shape. This roughly took me about 2 hours to complete. During this process, Eimir cut out two parts to an arrow out of thick black card. Once the mosaic heart was complete, we stuck it onto the larger heart so that the larger heart resembled a white border. We then stuck the black arrow parts on each side of the smaller heart, making it look as if the arrow was being struck through the heart.
Below are some pictures of the process of making the prop, and also a picture of our final product;
