Hey everyone! I've gotten in from Amazon (thank god for Prime) all of my props and technology that I'll be utilizing for my film opening!
Starting with the bottom, ski masks, now I could only find cheap, good quality ones in packs of 2 so I'm hoping to make the most out of it since I only NEEDED 1. I also bought myself a tripod so I could film easier as I tend to have shaky hands, hopefully it'll also help with different angles. My car keys are also there as my car is going to be THE CREDIT SEQUENCE, the opening scene of my car rushing through traffic (yes I'm being safe and using empty roads don't worry Cambridge) is where my credits are going to come into play. I also have bought Bluetooth microphones that connect directly to my phone for better sound quality, they also came with clips so I could hide them under my actors' clothes. Last but not least, Thomas' gun. Yes, I know it looks VERY realistic but it is just an airsoft gun with absolutely NO AMMO in it. It was an honest mistake on my part buying it without reading because I thought it was just a really good prop gun, thankfully my parents checked everything and it is absolutely safe to use with no ammo!
Everything in this photo will REALLY make or break my filming experience, the mask is going to become a big part of the storyline I leave on a cliff hanger at the end of the opening. The gun is a simple prop that simply adds to the reality of the film, it being a spy film. My car is also a pivotal part of the storyline because in all honesty Thomas is fully of himself and is EXACTLY the kind of person to buy a sports car, and yes that was lowkey a dig on myself and my cute little sports car. The microphones will only really help with Thomas' dialogue as he's the only person that has any.
