Things we are buying

• Necklace• Earrings• Cigarette • Stained white shirt

There aren’t a lot of things that we need to buy, as between us we know a people that can supply us with the things we need. The things on left are all maybes. Necklace-Both me and Courtney have ones we think could work but we need to check them and if they aren’t suitable then we will some. Earrings-They are the same as the necklace. I have some earrings I feel will work but we need to discuss them and maybe buy a pair if we don’t agree they are suitable. Cigarette-We will need to buy these, traditionally in Film Noir they smoke straights so we will buy some straights. None of our characters however smoke, we will be creative with filming to suggest that they are smokingStained White Shirt-We need a clean shirt and a stained one for the darkroom scene when the Anti-Hero is a mess. We will buy a cheap shirt to ruin so we can keep the expensive one as the clean one.

Making

• Car• Fake blood• Make Up • Hair

There is only two things we will be making, the car and the fake blood. The Car- We will be making car out of cardboard, but only the behind of the car, so the Femme Fatale has something to get out of. We will be drawing the outline of a traditional 1920s car on cardboard then painting it and cutting it out. We will also need to think about lights on the car.Fake Blood-We will have to make the fake blood following one of the instructions I have previously linked on my blog. We will need to consider if it will stain or not. We will probably be using my prom dress and I’m not sure how I feel about staining it. We will look into it. Make Up-As me and Courtney stated in our jobs allocation post, Courtney have a strong passion for doing peoples hair and make up, so Courtney will be doing all the actors hair and make up. For the men we will probably just style hair.

Borrowing

• Camera• Gun• Dress• Suit• Hat• Handbag• High heels

A lot of what we are using is being borrowedCamera-Me and my mum have lots of old and new cameras. And my mum has a camera from the correct era, and we will be using thatGun-A family friend has a fake, but realistic Desert Pistol that we will borrowDress-I am considering using my prom dress, I am unsure though as the fake blood could stain it. However me and Courtney have discussed it and I have a fitted Ladies knee length coat that I could wear over the prom dress to prevent that staining. Suit-The two people playing men in suits (Anti-Hero, and Villain) both have suits they can use. Hat-The same family friend that has a Pistol also has a Trilby hat we will borrow.Handbag- Courtney has a lot of old bags from the Film Noir Era that we will use.High Heels-We need to look into whether you will see the shoes or not, because as long as you can’t it doesn’t matter what high heels the I wear as the Femme Fatale, but if you can see them it changes that and we will have to consider them more.
