The first is a book. This I have decided to be the mysterious object and the focus of the film opening. The cover is flexible and bright red. I opted for a flexible cover rather than a hard-back, as hard-backs tend to bounce more when dropped if you hit a corner or an angle. The flexible cover doesn't make as much noise either, and the colour is eye-catching and vibrant. Red is the colour associated with danger and warning - an apt theme for my opening.
The second prop is Philip's backpack. I feel I would like to have to bag as there are some ideas I have for the character to put the book inside it and for Nick to run off with it in the bag. For an alternate ending (if my initial idea doesn't work out), I am thinking maybe Nick opens the bag after running off with it and the bag is empty. He finishes running to Maia and she is already sitting on a tree reading it. This works in relation to a shot I plan to include at the beginning, of the book dropping into the shot from above without showing how it fell.
