Making props for the film

 Today, I started working on one of the props for the film. I did not need to make many props for our film, but one of the props included a list of tasks that are going to be crossed off. This list is going to be shown in scene 8, which is the last scene. My group and I worked on picking out the font for the list. I wanted to find something that looked scary, and similar to fonts that may appear in thriller movies. I looked on one of the websites that creates all different design of fonts for you. One of the fonts that I found was called Golf Club Homicide. Despite the weird name, I felt that it best matched the font that I was looking for. My group member Kaitlyn thought it would be a good idea to add blood stains on the paper, so I looked online for blood stains to add. The title of the last list was "Phase 1: To Do List."It was followed by each of the killer/kidnappers tasks. 3 out of the 5 tasks where crossed out. I thought that this prop was a good way to end the film, and keep the audience engaged and on edge for what might happen next. When we film this scene, the camera will pan across the prop. For the lighting, I thought it would be best if it was pretty dark, and have a small amount of light so the audience will be able to see the prop. One idea is to use a dimly lit lamp. This will make the prop be easy to see, and will also add suspension the the room because we don't know who this character is or where. Most of our props and costumes are all ready for the film, so I am excited to see everything come together. My goal for this film is for it to look like a real film that you may see on commercials. Even though it is just a project, I still want to try my best, and make it look as good as it can. Luckily I have a good group, and I feel that we have a good idea, so it should turn out good.
