Props

Chess Board: The key prop in my short film is a chess board. This is used to act as a connection between the protagonist and his hallucination, as when he plays chess with them, the voices in his head disappear. Also, the 2 different colours on the board can represent his 'split mind', therefore an effective use of iconography to represent his mental illness.

Mugs: Simple use of mugs so that the protagonist can make cups of tea. The 2 mugs will be used in the same shot to again represent the idea of his 'split mind'.
