Props

While working with our project we used the range of different props and objects in order to make our movie be more professional and realistic.
When we look on all items, tools that the killer uses, we can infer that he uses the everyday accessories to kill, things that are normally used or household works however when it comes to clothing, he takes it seriously and professionally.

BLOOD
As we know, the most popular blood substitute is a ketchup
or a cherry juice. However we reached to more professional
solution, we therefore purchased a 'fake blood' and used in
our movie creating very realistic crime scene. Fake blood is
mouth free and easily washable unlike to ketchup or cherry juice.

KNIFE
As knifes in most thriller movies:

big, sharp and dangerous. When is shown,
symbolises death straight away.
The knife is only shown once in our movie,
however it is not while the killing scene but
when killer prepares. We dont know that
he is a killer until he reaches for the knife

BAG
Used by killer to transport all his 'equipment'.
In the movie we show the bag by the close up,
therefore when the killer closes it, whole screen goes
black, This gives us perfect place for inserting
the subtitles. The bag itself is traditional sport
bag, we previously planned to use business bag
but we did not have one.

GLASS
We used the broken glass in order to present the feelings

of the victim. Crashing glass connotates destruction,
something unavoidable and irreversible, like death.

NEWSPAPER AND PHOTOGRAPHS

Our killer's motive is death of his girlfriend, he decides to take revenge upon all people contributed in her death. His obsession is shown by the newspaper extract pinned to his wall informing about his girlfriend being killed. The extract is attached to the same wall as the photographs of them together which creates contrast and makes him even more motivated.
In order to create the real-looking newspaper extract we used the website which lets people to add the custom title and article and print off later.

GLOVES

traditional, gardening gloves, can be found in every

household. Used to cover all signs of the killer,
by the way he puts them in the bag we can see
that this is nothing new for him, just another
person to be killed, another trace to be hidden.

In our project we sometimes had to improvise. E.g. when the victim was dragged out on the blood we tried to avoid her clothes and hair being spoiled with that therefore we placed her on the plastic bag and hide it under her body so she could move on the spoiled surface without damaging her hair or clothes.
