Purchased props- The Keychain

When filming there were a series of props that we needed to use in the film. This first prop is of a keychain that sais: I Love you. As you can see, there is only one side of the heart. This makes you wonder who has the other half of the love heart? This is used in a couple of the shots. We see Olly look at the love heart and clench it in his hand and later on we see him drop it into the river. This prop is used to show that he was once in love but he is ready to let go and break away from the pain. This prop was brought just for the shoot as it was an effective tool to show the letting go of the love.

We don't have the prop anymore because the river we dropped it into flows and is also very dirty so we wouldn't of been able to retrieve it easily which would have caused real issue if we tried to get it back. So we decided that we didn't need the prop after we finished so we only had one take of the shot because if we didn't film it correctly the first time, we would have had to order it again which would have been a huge inconvenience because we would of had to meet up again just to film this one shot. Luckily, the shot went as plan so we didn't need to order a second and do it again.

This is a picture of the prop before I took it to the woods to film. We purposely only ordered one half as it adds mystery as no one knows who the other person is and leaves us wondering who the other half of the key ring belongs to.
