Prop collection so far

One of the most important props in this film is the radio, that Cam has John fix to distract him from the awful situation that they're in. I had a few ideas of what I would like it to look like and after discussing this with Duncan and Alfie, I knew we were on the same page. We want the radio to be an old transistor radio which is battered and broken, preferably with an antenna - this would mainly be for the aesthetic. Alfie suggested that the radio have some sort of screen that lights up to show that it was capable of working, however I suggested that maybe a better way of showing this would be through sound design (crackles etc.). Also I think the screen lighting up may clash with the idea that they want an emergency light to flicker in the room throughout tense parts of the film. To find this radio, I had a browse through EBAY, and found a few which looked like they could work really well. Unfortunately quite a lot of them blew our budget, however I found a few gems and sent them to Alfie, Duncan and Finlay. A lot of these were bids so I had to spend a lot of time watching them and ensuring that I was the highest bidder. The first radio we found was perfect for us and for about 5 days I was the highest bidder, however right at the last minute we lost the bid :(

the radio we lost the bid for :(

Aspects I particularly liked about this radio was the brown colour, and the big knobs on the front which created a lot of dimension and made it very visually interesting. 

I did not want to give up so I did a lot more digging into vintage radios and came across two whose bids ended the day i found them. One was £11 and the other was £5.99. I actually much preferred the cheaper one because it had similar sort of qualities I was looking for that the first one we lost had. I called India, and asked them which one they preferred and we agreed on the cheaper one. I put bids on both just in case, however I watched the one we discussed very closely, and at the last 15 seconds, I put a bid in of £6. Luckily, we won this bid and I double checked with Finlay that it fit in budget and got the ok to buy it. :)

I'm very happy with this purchase and I think with a bit of (temporary) tampering and additions of loose nuts and bolts, we can make this radio look as if it is being torn apart and repaired.

After some discussion with India, we knew there were a lot of props on the list that we already had at hand. For example, we already had some agreements to borrow some sleeping bags, tins, pack of cards and even a chessboard. Some other props such as the backpacks I need to think a bit harder about.

The initial image I had for the backpacks were khaki canvas rucksacks with no branding, slightly ripped, damaged and stained, that looked timeless in the film. However, I knew that with the time and budget we had I would have to be a bit more open-minded.

inspiration: Stand By Me (1986), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

I then looked at some of the films that had inspired Alfie and Duncan for this film and took inspiration from them. I looked at media such as The Last of Us, Black Mirror, etc and from there, branched out for more inspiration. I found that I could still make them look used and incorporate them into the film in a way that doesn't look out of place.

The Last of Us, The Maze Runner, Black Mirror

My plan for the backpacks is talking to the cast and crew, show them my inspiration and see if anyone has any similar to what I am looking for.

What initially gave me the idea for the mismatched and broken chess set were shots from Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom (2012), Fleabag (2016), and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001).

The scene from Moonrise Kingdom gave me the idea that our characters could be playing lots of different games on the chessboard to pass the time, with what they had.

This shot from Fleabag gave me the idea to use other objects in place of chess pieces to make it look more visually interesting, and also add more underlying narrative to the story. Our characters have just found this chess set, and due to the apocalypse, they have not been able to find all the pieces, so they make do with what they have.

And finally, I thought it would be even more visually interesting to have some of the chess pieces be broken, like wizard's chess in Harry Potter. This also foreshadows the tragic death of John, who is killed by Cam using the radio.

I have a chess set which I know I can use so all I need to do now is do a bit of searching to find some loose chess pieces, and other objects that i can use instead.

Vintage Regency Transistor Radio, Inside Label Reads Model TR-1G, Clear Case, AM Band, 4 Transistors, Made In USA, Circa 1955 - 1956 by Joe Haupt Via Flickr: The Regency Division of I.D.E.A (Industrial Development Engineering Associates) produced the first practical transistor radio, the TR-1. The company announced the TR-1 on October 18, 1954, and put it on sale in November 1954. Model TR-1G followed in 1955. This clear case model is very rare and dates to around 1955 to 1956. The front of the radio looks like a TR-1 model while having a TR-1G back cover. This radio was given to a marketing company to use in developing recommendations for improving sales of the Regency transistor radio. Regency rejected the recommendations of the marketing company which was allowed to keep this radio. I purchased the radio from an employee of that company.

World receiver radio sony

#World receiver radio sony portable

Because of the lightweight materials and the small, yet durable, construction on many of the early transistor radios Sony created, it was easier than ever before to transport a Sony radio to different locations. Even the TR-55, the original Sony radio, weighed just barely over 1 lb.

#World receiver radio sony portable

Many of the original vintage Sony radios are small enough to be taken anywhere and could be considered a portable radio. Are vintage Sony radios portable or stationary? While home built shortwave receivers had been used by amateur radio operators and radio experimenters prior to World War I, the first time shortwave radio reception was available to the general public was through the use of shortwave frequency converters sold as accessories to broadcast-band radio sets during the mid 1920s. Their first model of transistor radio was known as the TR-55, created in 1955 as the first officially branded Sony product on the market despite the company not formally transitioning to the name Sony until 1958. These types of radios were admired for their smaller size compared to those that came before, their increased durability, and how much more efficient and powerful the connection strength and quality were. The Sony corporation is known for manufacturing transistor radios, which were created near the beginning of the 1950s. In terms of Sony radios, the radios most prized by vintage radio collectors are those made before the 1960s. 1957 Motorola 57CD Tube AM Clock Radio in BLUE, Works Great / Retro Jetson Style. However, the three major types of radios most experts would consider to fit the designation of vintage are crystal radios, vacuum tube radios, and transistor radios. Diffuser City's Unpainted Berlin MLS type Audio/Sound Diffuser (Diffusor) reclaimed slat wood. The criteria for what is considered to be a "vintage radio" is not set in stone, with various examples spanning the decades between 19. What kind of radios are considered to be vintage? In the case of Sony, their radios date as far back as 1955. The majority of what collectors and experts consider to be an antique radio would be anything 50 years or older, typically made around the time of World War II. As such, there aren't any permanent criteria for what qualifies as sufficiently vintage or antique. The title of "vintage radio" covers electronic devices from several decades. Available in both portable radio and stationary varieties, Sony radios are a great choice for anyone who might be needing a way to listen to music without the use of a computer, or just for collection's sake and the joy of owning a piece of Sony history. Working radios and model radios from Sony can be great conversation pieces for guests as well as help to tie a room together. Vintage Sony radios are reliable electronics known for their crisp, clear sound and cool retro aesthetic.
