One of our props is this poster that is seen in the school hallway. The poster can be seen while Maddie is walking down the hallway minutes before the dismissal bell rings. The poster is a key part of the mise-en-scene for these scenes since it establishes context.
Some posters for inspiration:
Since it is the last day of school everyone is excited and is talking about their plans for the summer. Obviously, teenagers are always super excited for summer since now they get to spend time with their friends and have lots of fun. But for Maddie, who has no friends and is struggling with depression, summer is the opposite of fun. She just spends hours alone with no homework to distract her from the fact that other than school she has nothing to do.
We made the poster very simple so it would be realistic of what would be seen in a normal school hallway, and we took inspiration from our own school. I used bright colors that would go with the summery and happy vibe that is usually represented when it comes to the last day of school and the start of summer.
Here is the final product:
