Final Props

When filming our trailer we used a range of props especially with the makeup as we wanted the it to look realistic. The items we used are listed below and what we used each one for.

The props we used are:

The PVA glue was used to stick the special FX makeup to Ellie's face. By doing this it made it look realistic and by using the glue we knew that it wouldn't fall off. 

We used fake blood on wounds on Ellie's face to make it realistic. and believable for the audience watching the trailer. Without this the wounds would look fake so this was one of the most important items we used. Also the blood doesn't look fake as the red isn't dark red. 

We used special FX makeup which were similar to the ones in the image above but not as professional and expensive. We managed to find the makeup that's similar but at a cheaper price. But we still got the look we wanted to achieve from using this. 

In our trailer one of the characters had a police badge as this shows the audience what he role in the trailer is. At first the audience won't know he is but once he shows his badge they learn that he is an undercover officer and plays an important role. 

In one of the scenes one of the characters is talking on the phone so we decided it would be more effective by using a real phone and just putting it on silent when filming instead of buying a fake phone which wouldn't be as effective. 

 

We used two tripods to film our trailer. This one pictured above we mainly used as this captured the shots and angles used better. Also when using this tripods we were able to adjust the height so that we could film scenes multiple times from different heights which would change the look of the shot. 

This is the second tripod we used which is handheld. We only used this tripod when filming a scene when the camera was walking along with the characters in the scene or certain angles such as a close up. By using this it gives the footage a more realistic feel like it's from someones point of view. 

This is the final prop we used which is the camera we filmed the footage with. The camera is a Canon EOS M10 which has a great quality picture and can be zoomed in and out a far distance. By using this camera instead of a phone this makes the audience want to watch the trailer.
