Research and Planning - Props Used.

In the final trailer we used a few different things. We used a range to make it more natural and look more like everyday life.
Our items are:

This was used to make sure the Special FX makeup stuck to Ellie's face and didn't come off. It made it secure and gave it a more realistic look.

We also used fake blood, this is really realistic and makes it all look more like a human is actually bleeding. You can't actually tell that its fake as it looks like real blood. If we were to use no blood then it wouldn't look realistic at all, this was one of the items that made our look perfect. 

For our trailer we used Special FX makeup, ours wasn't as advanced as this but we used very similar things and this is the closest we could get to make it look like ours and what we used.

We used a police badge so that one of our characters an show the audience who they are, at first we aren't sure who they are but as the scene progresses we find out that they are an undercover police officer and they are one of the main characters. 

One of the characters uses their phone in one of the scene's as they are talking on the phone and needed a phone for this. We didn't see the point in buying a fake phone when we could just turn this characters phone off and use this instead.

This is one of the tripod's we used, this was the main one we used so that the camera was stable and wasn't moving around too much and the picture and filming was bad. This tripod was effective as we can adjust the height so that we can film different angles and shots by doing this, during filming we did do it a few times to change the look of the shot.

This is the camera we used, it is a Canon EOS M10. We used this as it has great quality and the picture is pretty much perfect whilst filming. One of the main characters already had this camera so we didn't need to go out and buy another one. 

This is the handheld tripod that we used when filming so that if we were filming a scene which we needed to be from a person's perspective then they could walk along with us and film with the camera in their hands. This is effective as it makes everything look more realistic and more natural if its from someones point of view.
