CONSTRUCTION: Prop Creation

For our genre of film, realism is of the utmost importance. We needed to have props that looked very convincing and mysterious, such as blood covered possessions that belonged to the cult. The most significant of these was an old foreign market stamp that we painted over with crimson in a patchy texture in order to emulate blood. This prop appears in an incredibly important scene in the trailer in which PI Andrews finds the mysterious object covered in blood, which gives clues to the investigation.

It ultimately enabled the film to look much more professional due to constructing our own props, and in the scene in which it was shown it was clearly visible and conveyed great importance to the central narrative.
