My Props and Costumes

I have gathered my own props and had to make an old looking notebook. I had to create several replica pages to use as spares and 'just in case' situations. I have also found a large kitchen knife to use, a tube of fake blood and borrowed a mask and black cloak from my schools drama department as part of the costume.

• I found making the books pages look the same quite hard as I had tea stained the pages so getting them to look identical was hard. But alot of the pictures are all in the exact same place and so is the writing and I think that this will help the continuity of it look okay. And the original note book was a couple of pounds from Wilkinson.
• The knife was easy to find as we had a set of them at home so I just had to check that it was okay to take one.
• For the fake blood I planned on making my own mixure up using corn flour, water and red food colouring. But on the day of filming I found a tube of it left over from halloween so I decided to use that instead.
• I spoke to the drama department on Friday (which I admit I did leave it very late and I was lucky that they had what I was looking for) and they were happy to lend the mask and cloak to me, but I will have to back later today to check that it is okay for me to borrow them untill Tuesday now but the man i spoke to was lovely so I'm sure it'll all be fine with him.
