Props: The Scrapbook

A key point of Alice's character is that she is well informed about the legend of the king's corpse. To accentuate this, she carries a scrapbook she has made containing clippings and articles involving the story. In reality, there are only two pages of content within the scrapbook, which we need to give the illusion of a lot of detailed analysis. I created newspaper articles, one headline article, a smaller sub heading and a congratulations from the newspaper to the couple when they got married. Joe sketched in a few images of the killer and locations and Georgina annotated them with details we had worked out earlier in the writing process.

Alice's character takes inspiration from Heather Donahue from the blair witch project in the sense that she has a lot of knowledge about the legend and she is chosen to present the documentary they are filming. The scene where her and Tracy are in the tent resembles some key points in the Blair witch project where we learn a lot about the legend itself from Heather. The scrapbook is essential to this effect as the audience believe that she is very knowledgeable about the king's corpse and has devoted a lot of time into the project.
