Prop List for our production

Axe- the axe was used as our final prop and we thought instead of using a gun as the murder weapon, an axe is more mysterious and proves to be more of a dangerous, more gruesome weapon. 

Torches- we needed torches in order to actually film our production. Although they arent shown in the film, they were a necessity due to the face we were filming in the dark. They also proved to look like car headlights in the background of our opening scene. 

Shoes/bag/clutch- these three props were needed for the 'damsel in distress' in our production. These were used as extras to help make it a more realistic scene. When she's running away we allowed the fact that she was holding her coat and her shoes in the other hand to prove she was a girl running away and was scared.

Make up- we used make-up as a prop to ensure that it looked like the girl in our production was upset and had been drugged. We applied her make-up normally and then smudged it across her face to allow the idea that she was being chased to be represented in what she was wearing and looked like. 

Wine glass- the wine glass simply allowed us an opportunity for her to get drugged, and was therefore a necessity in our production.

Pills(tic tacs)- again, these were a necessity in our production as it's a key part when she does get drugged. Obviously we didn't have real drugs, so we used small mints in their place, which still looked effective. 

Pint of beer - having a pint of beer was only to enhance the atmosphere that we were in a pub. This created more of a realistic feel and we thought it was necessary as an alibi because otherwise he would have looked odd within the production if the man was sat there doing nothing. 

Mobile phone - the mobile phone was used to get the other girl away from the scene. 

Ketchup - we also used ketchup for the final scene to mirror fake blood. We spread it on the walls, but unfortunately it was hard to see due to the lighting as we had to film at night time.
