Since I already have a good idea of my film openings aesthetic, I now know what types of props I need in order to convey a 2000's theme. To further push the 2000's narrative me and my teammates looked for things that we own that could fit with this theme. While searching I found some things I think would be cute to include!
Set Props
I don't want my props to take away from my characters, however I know what is necessary to convey the 2000's plot line. The 2000's is filled with plenty of different print patterns and tacky colors like bright purple, green, and pink.
Alarm Clock
One of our first few scenes includes the main character Alejandra being awoken by her alarm clock. The sound is loud and blaring which only adds to the idea that teenagers don't like to wake up early. The alarm clock we picked fits in with our 2000's theme as it has a 'Snooze' button and isn't anything that draws too much attention.
The time displays the dramatic bright red that is typically featured in coming-of-age films. Plus it helps that you can adjust the time so even if its mid day while we're shooting we can change the clock to an earlier time.

Makeup Pouch
A makeup bag is a big part of a girl's routine. Especially in our film's opening, as our main character, Alejandra, is getting ready for the day. I plan on having her use this pouch in one of the first few scenes of my film. My teammate Jocelyn suggested using her makeup pouch as it somewhat fits the aesthetic, and I immediately agreed. The cheetah print pattern was a staple of the era and is pretty cute if you ask me!
IPhone 6
While the IPhone 6 was released in 2014 its still small enough that there is a visual difference between the phones from the 2000s to 2020. These phones are small enough that they add to the 2000's aesthetic and add a more realistic viewpoint to the film
