Production Blog: Costumes and Props

 In order to begin the filming process I needed to make sure I had all of the correct costumes and props for my actors and scenes. Getting the right props for my film is crucial to creating an immersive and believable experience for the audience. The house and car keys were pretty easy to access as they will be on-site at our filming location and authentic. These will be used to set the scene and add tension as characters search for a way out of danger. Next, we do not need to get a doormat since our filming location has one. The doormat is however necessary to my film as it is the explanation of how Django and Marty break in. Next, we need various phones which can be provided by each actor as well as the cast to be used. These will add a touch of realism to a modern-day film. Next, I needed to go to target in order to purchase flashlights and a ring light to improve the production quality of my film. A flashlight or spotlight can create a dramatic effect and add suspense to low-light scenes. Next, we needed a "beer bottle", so we purchased sodas that came in glass bottles to mimic this effect. A beer bottle can be used to create a relaxed atmosphere in scenes. I found Handcuffs in my room from a previous cop costume that I could use. Next, papers/newspapers can be found in my house. The multiple vehicles would also be easy to locate in my driveway. I also asked my friend to borrow his drone in order to film the stunning aerial shots of the action. Each prop serves a specific purpose in the movie, whether it's to create tension, add authenticity, or set the scene. With the right props, the audience can be fully immersed in the story and transported to another world. As a producer, paying attention to even the smallest details is important to create a cohesive and realistic experience for the audience

. The right props can make all the difference in creating a successful and memorable movie. To get all of the costumes I asked each actor if they had the correct clothing, if not I went to the thrift store to purchase cheap costumes.
