Location Ideas, Props and Costumes

Opening Scene- Sleeping Children
Location: This shot will be located in a classroom with all the blinds down so the room is dark.
Props: We are going to try and make this look like a bedroom, so we will use candles to create a cosy bedroom light and bedsheets, bed covers and pillows to make tables appear as beds in which the children will be sleeping.
Costumes: Children don't need costumes, the parent will wear normal casual clothing.

Second scene:
Location: This shot will be shot in a college classroom so there is lots of space to establish how many elves there are, and it will be possible to decorate in a cristmasy theme.
Props/ Costumes: The elves will be wearing green costumes and will have rosy red cheeks. Santa will be wearing a full Santa costume with beard etc. Presents will be made from boxes wrapped in paper, the toy machine will also be made from a box wrapped in paper and the childrens list will be on a long roll of paper. The room will be decorated with tinsel.
