Prop List, Continuity and Locations during Final Production

The final production will feature several props that will be used to add realism to the piece. All props will be real, but the more dangerous ones will be monitored carefully. Anything seen, no matter how damaging it looks, is not representative of the filming.

. Torch
. Knives
. Sheet
. Bloody cloth (red food dye)
. Various kitchen appliances
. Henry Hoover
. Hat, suit

Due to the nature in which the filming will occur (over three days estimated), possible continuity issues will arise. However, due to the fact that we only have one primary actor, who will most likely be wearing a suit, (the detective), the suit can be placed over existing clothing to avoid having different attire during filming. The other actors will wear similar suits for same effect, and so no real continuity issues exist, bar the clothing issue that can be dealt with. Whether we wear the same clothes, and get changed afterwards, or whether we place the suit over the top is not yet known, but we will be of the same appearance across the three days of filming.

The film will primarily be recorded at Ellis' house, with the kitchen, hallway, stairway, bedroom and bathroom all used in the filming. We do not as of yet have any plans to film any scenes away from the specified location, though our blog will be suitably updated if during filming we add a shot or two. But for now, all filming will occur at Ellis' house under the supervision of responsible adults.
