Props update

We've been talking about what were going to need in terms of prop quite a bit now, here's some details.

This is my favourite prop, an old leather suitcase, thought we could use it for the scene where the detective comes home to find his wife dead.

This is pretty cool, its a lunchbox shaped like an old radio, it had vodka in it. It's going in the kitchen for the scene where he finds his wife dead.

Black document wallets for the titles.

Just a few bits and pieces, mostly my costume, see the little metal badges, thought they'd be cool as part of the "shamed detective" idea.

The Polaroid photos, my printer wasn't happy to print them in grey scale, so we'll have to shoot those bits normally, and edit them to black and white on the iMacs. I thought they had Polaroid colour photos in the fifties though.

The envelope for the Polaroid photos.

Some other little bits, thought these would suit as things on the table, but also thought about a little, evidence assembly montage, similar to Se7ens opening scene.


So there it is, i took out twenty quid last week to buy the props, but so far it's all been stuff we have or £2.05s worth of stuff from Fovia. Maybe i was expecting too much. I've still got to have a look around some shops in town for:

• A trilby/fedora - whats the difference?
• A "trench coat" - i thought we had that sorted, but Monty was thinking of this:

• A few more evidence files, i can't even find a picture of what Monty descirbed to me.
• A picture of myself as a criminal, so a mugshot, with a board with my name and that.
