Costume/Props

This is my costume. Harry was given the task of planning the costumes out and he came to me with his idea of what he wanted me(Officer Curtis) to look like and we discussed whta clothing i already had that was suitalble and if i would need to source anything. As it turned out i had most of the clothing he wanted me to wear, these items being a shirt, black trousers, and a dark pair of trainers. The only item i didnt have was the Authentic leather jacket so i set about finding one, and was able to find one i could borrow from a family member.

This is the blood we plan on using.

I researched on the internet how to make up authentic fake blood and found a good recipe using.

• Cornflower
• Water
• Oil
• Red food Colouring

The recipe stated that to start you should first add the cornflower to the oil and water and try to make a gravy like substance, one content with the texture you then add in the red food dye. You can then add in more or less water/cornflower to get the right ballance for your needs.

We felt that it was important to try and get props that fitted in with the 80's era we were trying to go for, so we tried to get old camera's ect so that thye wouldnt look out of place in the film. We feel that the use of certain props is hugely important to our peice as we have noticed in the films/tv-dramas we have studied that props were heavily used. Certain props will need to be included in certain parts of the our trailer to really put the emphasis into the scenes.

 These are the props that michael michael brought for the production stage.

• Gun
• Camera
• Binoculous
• Brown Envelope
• Flour(Drugs)

Below are the props that i brought along

• Interview equipment
• Glasses
• Wig
• Gun
• Handcuffs

I had to go out to a costume shop to get the gun and wig ect....
The main difficult thing was getting the interview equipment as it had to look quite old, however after digging i was able to find this wonderful tv/tape/radio machine that fitted our needs perfectly.
