Our Props and Casts

We have finished deciding on the casts and all our props are ready.

Casts -
* Shazna Khalique - Stalker
I have volunteered to play the stalker.
* Lucy Taylor - Victim.
Lucy will be walking through the woods listening to her iPod, where the stalker follows her.
* Emily Peachey - Friend of the victim.
Emily will appear near the end of the title sequence when she sees Lucy worried and and they have a brief conversation.

Props -
* Fake Blood -
I have decided to do research on the Internet to find out how to make fake blood as we will be using it in our scenes.

I found this useful website - www.dainter.com/infocus/fakeblood.htm
Ingredients:
- 1 pint of clear corn syrup
- 100 drops of red food colouring
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1/4 cup of sifted flour or corn starch
- 8 drops of blue food colouring

1) Remove about a 1/4 cup of the corn syrup and replace it with an equal amount of water. Add the food colouring and mix the blood by shaking gently.

2) Add sifted flour (or corn starch) to the mixture, gently mix it all again. If you use flour, you may get small lumps forming at the top of the mixture, if you do, wait about a minute and it will float to the top where it can be removed.

Unfortunately, me and Emily were unable to get hold of some of the ingredients required, but Emily's dad kindly ordered some ready made fake blood from a fancy dress shop in Bexleyheath after searching online.

* iPod:
Lucy will be using Emily's iPod when she's walking through the woods.
* Black Mask and Black Clothes:
I have all the black clothes but I just need a mask to cover my face to hide my identity. I doubt I have a black mask at home, Emily will look at home and if we cannot find one, we will have to borrow it from the Drama department at Welling School or buy one from a fancy dress shop.
* Knives:
Emily has the knives that we will be using throughout some of the scenes (the scenes at the Stalkers house will take place at Emily's house).
* Pictures of the Victim:
We will need to take several pictures of Lucy for the scenes at the Stalkers house to signify that he's been following her.

We just have a few more things to sort out, but apart from that, our casts and props are sorted and we are ready to film.
