Props/costumes (mise-en-scene) required

Our setting takes place in Ilkley within our current era (2016). This makes things much more simpler for us in terms of mise-en-scene, props and costumes as not much has to be prepared. However some things do need to be arranged:

Locations:
One of our scenes takes place within the kitchen of a restaurant when we see Harrison (male protagonist) pot washing. Fortunately Louis and I both work at the same restaurant where this scene can be filmed. We just have to check with the owners to make sure that we are ok to do so. Another one of our scene is set in a bar/pub.

Costumes:
Our actors are similar ages of the characters they are playing so casual/general everyday clothing is acceptable. There is no obvious theme that requires a certain dress code. However our extras will have to wear this mask:


This mask was created by our selves. We simply purchased a plain white mask and drew big black dots using a black marker pen. These masks are essential for the use of motion capture. The black dots are used as 'tracking points' on the software 'After Affects'. We will duplicate these accordingly to the amount of characters required to wear them. They simply allow us to track the emoji images to the movement of these masks.

Actors/Actresses:
Our actors have no acting experience however we feel they fit the role in terms of appearance. They are also close friends of ours making it more convenient when arranging dates and times.
