For props and costume we've decided to use different things for different scenes. We've manages to obtain certain objects to re-enforce the idea of Sonny being in a police officer's office by getting a Police hat and a print out of the Metropolitan Police's logo which is stuck on the wall. We've also taken pictures of 'suspected criminals', printed them out and stuck them on a board the undercover officer will be using to write down information and analyze his suspects. In the dealing scene we've used a powder tightly wrapped in a small piece of plastic to give it the appearance that the drug dealer is giving drugs to him.
We've also thought out the characters costume for all 3 scenes. The first scene in the building/office Sonny will be wearing formal wear as he will be in a formal environment (office) where people usually dress in shirts, trousers etc, because of this we have chosen a white shirt and a smart black jacket for Sonny to wear when we shoot this scene.
The other 2 scenes will be Sonny leaving the building and buying drugs, during these times Sonny will be undercover and dress casual/street to fit in with the drug-related storyline and blend in with a typical guy who wants to buy drugs. We chose Sonny to wear a hoody with casual bottoms.
This contrast between the office scene and the street in terms of costume and props gives a good relevance into someone's typical view. So we will be feeding into what a viewer expects and how things are shown usually.
