SHOPPING FOR PROPS (2)

SHOPPING FOR PROPS (2).

Firstly, I ordered the props that I knew would be difficult to source outside of the internet due to our time limit. So, I ordered the more specific props and things that I needed to DIY as I wanted to allow myself time for error. 

This included the skulls, doll heads, jars and the small ziplock bags.

Luckily, they arrived on time and all in perfect condition:

I then went physically shopping in order to get the opportunity to browse and perhaps come across things that could be incorporated into our idea.

My first stop was WHSmith; from here, I planned on purchasing all of the artistic props. I managed to purchase paint brushes, paint, a tub of glue and a wooden artist manikin.

I also went to Boots but forgot to take pictures, but from there I purchased a teasing brush, weak hairspray, and cheap, black non waterproof mascara to ensure that it would streak down her face. The rest of the makeup (black eyeshadow, blush, contour) I had.

Then, I went to TK Maxx. From here I hoped to find storage boxes of some sort as I couldn't find any of a good colour in WHSmith.

I managed to find two storage boxes that would be able to provide dimension to our set, but also came across a cheap, good set of sculpting tools that were extremely sharp that I thought would suit our set/his personality well.

Lastly, I went to Sainsbury's in order to purchase all of the materials needed for the DIY aspect of our props. This included food colouring, blue washing up liquid, coffee creamer, syrup, plasters, baking soda and vinegar. 

Whilst I was there, I got the chance to have a look at potential berries that we could use for our sequence. I found redcurrants, but decided against buying them for the time being as they would go off. They were the perfect size and colour, and would allow maximum safety for us and the actors.
