Props


Props
Not many props were needed as I was doing a documentary however the ones I did use were important.

Skateboard
The skateboard was a necessary prop as Corey Skelton is a skateboarder so it was important to show him on it and using it. I had a skateboard already so I did not need to get one. 
BMX
There are also a few shots of Corey Skelton on a BMX to show he didn't just skateboard. Once again I already a BMX so it was not hard to organise these shots.
Helmet
Before Corey attempted his final shot he is seen wearing a helmet to show that it was more dangerous and higher risk than his usual stunts. I borrowed the helmet off of my step brother as he had one. The fact that it was pink matched Corey's glasses and personality as he is quite outlandish wearing a lot of bright colours.
Alcohol
I asked my mum to borrow the bottle of Jack Daniels as well as the empty bottle of Bacardi which I filled up with water in order to be able to drink it. At first the alcohol was just going to be used as tool to show Corey celebrating, but then that's when I got the idea it could be used as the reason he died. I then got shots of him drinking in a secluded area before stunts. The camera was shown as hidden around the corner with the cameraman filming secretly as Corey had hidden his drinking from the public.
