Props

We do not need many props in our opening sequence, as the scene focuses purely on two people fighting so having too many props would be ineffective. However, we are going to need three props:

A Letter-

The letter that our group imagines is in a brown tinted envelope, to make it seem more important, and seeing as most common envelopes are white, so we decided to look online at some. Here is one example, however the minimum order is 2. This could be beneficial though, as if one gets damaged, we have a second envelope. We can fill the inside with paper to make it more full and as if something were inside.

The woman is carrying the letter in the lift and the contents is unknown however it is assumed that she is delivering the contents to one of the people in the apartment complex or that she is bringing it back to her apartment.

Lanyards -

In order to get effective looking lanyards, I have decided to look online and see if the group can buy some. Below is the following best lanyard I found off amazon and should arrive in around 5-6 days from when we order it. I figured that going for a black/ neutral colour would look best. We can make the ID cards ourselves by photographing our cast and finding a picture of what an ID for a lanyard may look like and photoshop it.

My group decided to use lanyards as lanyards are used as identification and will be needed in order to access the apartment complex to indicate that it is a university/ school of some sorts. It also makes the woman look less suspicious, as it indicates that she is not out of place and lives in the building, making the twist even more shocking.

Fake blood- 

We can actually make fake blood which might be more effective than buying some, as it means we can have as much or as little as we want. But in the case that we don’t have access to the ingredients we need, we can also buy some online. Depending on how much we need, we could buy a big bottle, or a smaller tube. However, like I mentioned earlier, we can make it.

We would need:

• 3/4 cup corn syrup.
• 1/4 cup water.
• 1/2 teaspoon red food colouring.
• 5 drops blue food colouring.
• 2 drops green food colouring.
• 1 tablespoon corn starch.

We will need to have fake blood, as the fight scene will inevitably have scenes of blood in it especially if we want to make the fight scenes look naturalistic.
