2. We need to make a prop list so that we
know exactly what we will need for
when we shoot our film. This will also
give us a rough idea of how much
everything will cost us and if we need to
get help for funding these items.
3.
As we are going to
have dentist chairs
and other equipment
down in the basement,
we will need to
purchase items to
make the basement
look as real as
possible which will
add to the tension and
will make the short
film draw the attention
of the audience.
4.
The dental chair is
key to the basement
scene but it does
cost a lot of money.
This is the cheapest
item I found and it is
just a basic dental
chair. I will meet with
my partner and
discuss what we
should do. We could
also just get an
ordinary chair and
make it look like this
to lower costs.
5.
We will also need weapons such as guns and
knives which will be put up on shelves within
the basement and covered in blood. The blood
isn’t an issue as we can get fake blood from
anywhere and it won’t cost much either. We will
have to ask our teachers if they can help us
with getting guns as props for our short film
but the knives aren’t an issue as we can get
them from our homes as well but just have
them laid down as if they are a killing knife
rather than a kitchen knife.
6.
Garden tools will also be
needed to add to the
effect and tension we
will try to portray in the
basement scene. With
these, we can find at our
homes and if not, I’m
sure we can purchase
them from local
supermarkets.
7.
In our script we have mentioned that we will
use chainsaws and syringes or injections
within the basement scene. Personally, I think
this will add to the tension we will be building
throughout the whole movie and definitely
follows the codes and conventions of our
genre. We will again have to ask our teachers
to help us with these props.
