We Went Shopping!

In preparation for filming, the gang decided it we should bond together over a shopping trip. We still needed supplies and props for our opening.

 We ended up only buying a handful of things, but some of them are crucial for our project.

This thing is a curling brush. We sprung for the cheapest one we could find in order to limit our budget. This thing is going to be our murder weapon. The black coloring makes it look even more menacing which is great given its intended purpose.


And this is a mirror. We have like two shots that require a mirror, but we felt it was worth the purchase. It's not a very large mirror, so getting a shot without the camera in it should be easy. If it was too big, the camera would likely appear in the reflection and ruin the shot. It's also black, but that isn't particularly relevant in this instance.

We also bought the ingredients required to make fake blood. I don't have a picture of them, but we did buy them. We got some food coloring, corn syrup, and organic brownie cookies. The last thing was for CJ to eat later.

We also got together a bunch of other props that we already own. We pulled together a bunch of laptops, tablets, and phones for the opening scene where the killer is surrounded by technology. We got CJ's lamp to help us with lighting our shots. We also got some sheets and blankets to block out the windows at our filming location, also to control lighting. We also brought some flashlights (our phones) and a small blanket to manipulate the lighting even further. One of us has fake glasses for the killer to wear, purely for one shot, but it's easy to do so we did it. Our actresses are going to bring some make up for us to use as props as well. Not for usage, merely aesthetics of the scene. Obviously we used a few more things here and there, but these are the most important things we ended up using other than people.
