Props on props

Things are finally getting real! Today Ellie and I went and got our props for the film. We started at party city for some fake blood and then went to Hobby Lobby and for hair, jars, and a T shirt(Annie’s costume). Honestly we were concerned with the budget, but everything ended up being relatively cheap. Considering all of this, this was the easiest part of the props. This is because now we had to actually go home and customize them. 

We wanted to incorporate lots of fake blood and weaponry into it. With the help of some scotch tape, we were able to make amazing looking props that were used as credits. We just simply put tape on the props and wrote over them ( In one super cool fonts, shoutout Ellie). We made sure they fit the theme because we know how important they are  ( http://filmshortage.com/typography-and-titles-in-film/ ) It may seem silly to put so much thought into the font, but seriously it made the storyline much better. We worked for hours trying to make every detail perfect, because we know that one thing out of place can be disastrous. It was messy task, but the way everything turned out made it so worth it.

One problem we did endure was finding 17 pictures! So now the title of the movie is "5" because now she will be the fifth girl! Other than that, we didn't have many hiccups. Seeing all of the props played out ready to be used is making me more excited than I thought for this project. This journey is coming closer to the end, but yet we have only just started! Up next, filming!
