Prop List

Im going to need a few different various props to make my
film a bit more realistic Im not going to go out and spend
loads of money to make this happen so Im going to see
what I can get for free by asking friends and family

Im going to need torn and ruined clothes because I need my protaganist "Abdulini" to look as if he has spent his life working in a sweatshop.


I want the boss of the sweathshop "Sanjeepdeepmahuji" to look rich but
still with a Mongolian twist this is a good example of what I want



Im going to need a dirty pair of trainers so that "Abdulini "
can work on them during the start of the film

Im also going to see if I can borrow my mums sowing machine
so "Abdulini" can make the trainers with it


Obviously if I could afford to I would be spending thousands
on props but thats not an option.

Locations




 These are the type of locations I want for my short film , I want it to look like a dirty poorly funded sweatshop. The only thing is I don't have alot of actors which is why my favorite one is the picture of the woman working on her own.






                                                This the ideal sort of scene I want for my film.
                                                Its dark barely lit and it looks like a sweatshop.

                       Once the protagonist finally escapes the sweatshop he finds himself in sunny fields.
