Prop List
Alejandra's alarm clock
In the opening scene of the film opening, Alejandra gets woken up by her alarm clock and she rips the plug out of the wall when it won't shut off when she hits it. When looking for this alarm clock, I had to do some light research on what alarm clocks looked like in the 2000s. I found that they had "Timex" digital alarm clock, sadly I was not able to find one that matched Alejandra's mcbling aesthetic so I had to settle with a plain black one from Amazon.
Alejandra's makeup bag
In another scene, Alejandra is getting ready in her bathroom and her makeup bag is shown. Sophia figured we could use my makeup bag as Alejandra's because it has a cheetah print pattern and matches to Alejandra's mcbling aesthetic. Using my makeup bag saves out group the trouble of having to buy another prop in the long list of props we have so far.
Alejandra's blush
In the scene in Alejandra's bathroom, Alejandra will be applying blush when Arianna calls her. When finding a blush for Alejandra to be holding, I had to do light research what makeup brands were popular during the 2000s and were reasonably priced. I also had to find makeup that passed for being from the 2000s since some brands have changed their packaging since the 2000s. I found that the makeup brand NYX just started becoming popular and their brand is known as affordable and good-quality, so it was perfect. I found this "Sweet Cheeks" NYX blush on Amazon and I think it is perfect with reasonable pricing and 2000s-esque packaging.
Alejandra and Arianna's schoolbags
In the scene where Arianna is standing in front of her house when calling Alejandra, the audience will see a full body shot of Arianna, showing her school bag. In the short research I did, I found that JanSport was a common backpack kids had in the 2000s. I already have a black JanSport backpack, but my only concern is if Arianna would have a black instead any other color like brown for example. I don't want to be too particular, so we will have to stick with the black. For Alejandra's backpack, I wanted it to also be a JanSport backpack that still matched her mcbling fashion. On Amazon, I found a cheetah print backpack that perfectly matches Alejandra's aesthetic.
Alejandra and Arianna's phones /phone cases
Since there will be a scene where Alejandra and Arianna will be on phone, I wanted their phone cases to match the 2000s era and their character aesthetics. Buying new phones that were available during the 2000s is way too over-the-top, so I thought at least having 2000s-esque phone cases is the most we could do. For Alejandra's phone case, I wanted to say on the animal print patterns because they are the most obvious mcbling design to me. I found a cheetah print phone case, but I felt it would be too matchy with her backpack so I chose the zebra print case instead. I'm not sure type of iPhone Gaby has and I will have to ask but if the type of phone she has isn't available I will have to look for a different case. For Arianna's phone case, I decided to use the one I currently have. My phone is of the Japanese bear named Rilakkuma and I found that Rilakkuma was popular in the 2000s and matched Arianna's aesthetic, so it is perfect.
There will probably be more added to this list once I discuss more in depth with my group. A more a pressing issue is figuring out how we are going to pay for the props. I'm not sure if we will be splitting the costs of if each of us will be buying a certain amount of props, but I think adding the total cost together and splitting it between the three of us is the best option. There will be some props we won't be getting until the day of production, like the Starbucks the girls get on the way to school, but that is to be figured out later.
