Props, Costumes and Equipment List

Props:
• Garage tools such as spanners, a hammer, wrench, Blow torch which the killer will use inside his garage
• Fake blood using experimented ingredients
• Bin bags for the dead bodies
• Yearbook which will show the victims
• Fake Blood for the crossing out of dead pupils in the yearbook
• White van which the killer will use
• Microphones for the news reporters
• Television which will be used at the end for the killer's over the shoulder shot

The main prop used in the opening to our film was the yearbook, as it was the whole storyline is based around. As a group we made the year book, using pictures inside of students in our media class, and also the actors in the film we did this to make the year book look as realistic as possible. We designed the yearbook so that it looked old and worn as it belonged to a student that went to the school ten years previously. It was my idea to bring the yearbook into the film as it gave the audience a sense of understanding about what was happing in the opening of our film, and I think that it worked really well. Another key prop in the production of our film was the fake blood, which was obviously used to show the death and pain of the antagonist's victims, we developed a video on the making of the fake blood. A large white van was used in our film, which was the killers mode of transport and also where he would store the bodies after he had killed them.

Costumes:
• Overalls for the killer
• White T-shirt and jeans for Fuchsia
• First dead body will be dressed in casual jeans and any coloured t-shirt
• The news reporters will be dressed in smart suits, for the male this will consist of blazer and tie, and for the woman skirt and blouse

There is more information about the costumes that will be used in the film opening, which can be found on the characater profile and costumes section on my blog.

Equipment:
• Three cameras
• Three tripods
• One dolly
• Three memory cards

All the equipment listed above is essential for the making of our film, as there will be three cameras shooting the action at all times to provide with another suitable shots to be able to cross-cut and fade to different angles of the action. Therefore we need the three memory cards and the three tripods. We only need the one dolly as this is only for one part of the opening and only one camera is needed to film it.

As a group we discussed what props, costumes and equipment would be needed in our film in order to make it the best it can be. I feel that all the things listed above will help us to create a great opening to a horror film. This is just a list of everything that we are using there is more detailed descriptions of what we are using and why found on my blog.
