• Need to think about water supply / if there is no water supply, he will have the gloves on from the beginning so he doesn’t need to wash his hands

Some of reasons for the key props are as followed:

Distillation set up - to show how thought through the man's murder plan is and how he is enjoying the lengthy drawn out process of killing his sister.

Padded handcuffs - to make sure there are no visible scars or bruises to the woman to make her death seem less like a planned out murder and more like an accidental passing.

Red shiny Berries - these are berries that will be almost visually identical to the real daphne mezereon counterparts, they are essential because the camera will follow them throughout the opening tittle sequence since they act as the 'glue' of the tittle sequence narrative.
