Finding Props

Like stated before, Elena does track and for the beginning we decided to have shots of her room and these would establish her interests and her financial state. Thankfully, my dad has several medals from triathlons and marathons so there was no shortage of props implying that she does track. We also not only used medals, but we also used race numbers, the one that is worn during races, making it more realistic and to emphasize on that aspect of Elena, her love for track.

Another prop we created was the financial aid papers and the "past due" documents. For the financial aid papers, we printed out a FAFSA documents which is what students use when they are not financially stable and need help paying for college. We partially filled this out to show she is in the process of figuring it out and to demonstrate thats her biggest obstacle at the moment. We also created ourselves "past due" documents. We did this with enveloped and papers we receive from colleges from a daily basis. We wrote "past due" on every one of them and also opened and made it seem like a mess so to show how stressed she is and how she is also in the process of figuring it out like I said before.
