Poster

 Me and my group decided that a prop we were going to use was a big poster saying ‘last day of school’. The poster is going to be hung up on the wall when Maddie is passing through the halls. We wanted to put the poster for two main reasons:  

Firstly, we wanted to make some kind of contrast between the school spirit of summer starting, and Maddie's lack of emotion and excitement for Summer. Maddie is going to walk, kind of depressed and upset through the halls with her backpack and her dark outfit, and she passes by the sign, but she doesn't give it any attention. We want to emphasize that Maddie is dreading for school to be over because school being over means she has free time, but she doesn't have any hobbies, sports, or social life to have fun in summer. 

Second of all, the poster is there to help the viewers know the setting and time of when the movie takes place. The movie taking place in summer is a very important factor to the plot because it helps highlight to the audience how lonely Maddie is. 

Overall, although this poster is going to be shown for a few mere seconds, it’s a very important part for the plot and helps the audience understand the movie better.
