Planning - Props


These are the props I will be using in the interviews in the talking space in my documentary. These images have been sent to me by one of the cosplayers I am interviewing (Jess Sharman) in which these possessions have a significant importance to her and inspired her to do cosplay;



 

















This image shows a popular manga called "Deathnote" and a small anime action figurine next to the book. By putting the figurine by the book tells the audience that it relates to the manga comic on the shelf, in which these props are important for the interview as they are what the person being interviewed (Jess Sharman) has taken her cosplay inspiration from.



























This prop is of a poster from Alice in wonderland, in which is a book that has been adapted by Disney and become a popular icon. Alice in wonderland is another cosplay inspiration for Jess, in which by using props and merch in the background shows that they are of significant importance.






This shot shows a collection of figures and plush's from various franchises from the conglomerate Walt Disney. Disney characters (especially princesses) are a popular choice in terms of dressing up and cosplay, in which these props are a good choice in terms of representing Disney and cosplay.





These props relate to the choice made by the cosplayer in terms of representing her interests. It further shows the viewer her interest for Alice in wonderland, in which tells them the significant impact it has in terms of inspiration.



This prop is an icon of the animation producers Studio Ghibli. It is from the anime My Neighbour Totoro, in which also happens to be the ident of the Japanese animation studio. Studio Ghibli are heavily associated in the world of anime, in which anime is also linked into cosplay, and so by using this prop it further links together the significant impact of anime with cosplayers.
