Props and Detail blog

When filming there were so many little things we needed to keep note of. Such as what outfits I was wearing the other day of filming. Making sure my makeup was always on the same way. As well as having the makeup fade throughout the time of the film, to portray the physical damage healing, but the psychological and mental impact still weighing heavy. In the scene where the nurse is rolling me out of the hospital, we made sure we were perfect. From the location, the costumes, the props, the background, and the angles. As well as the ambulance scene, our attention to detail was honestly impeccable. Our paramedic 2 Alexander Cabrera was wearing slides during the ambulance scene. The first take we did was perfect and we loved it so much, but you could slightly see them when we looked back on it. Even though it was a long shot and it was executed well, we didn't want that in our film at all. So we shot it again and thankfully it came out well. We had so many important props in our film. Such as all the equipment in the ambulance, the wheel chair, and the prescription pills (that we made sure were accurate). We also the calendar in the background of the scene where 3 months pass. We needed a creative way for the audience to understand all the time passing by without it just being edited on the screen. We even changed the background and lighting of that scene to make the days look different. If you look closely enough you could actually see all the doctor and physical therapy appointments we wrote throughout those months, as well as small little notes. We used hair brushes, pencil bags, my phone, $40, and our fake fentanyl. We actually just used whole altoids in the bottle, and ten we just crushed them up in saran wrap during the drug deal scene. And finally our most disgusting prop, the fake vomit. It was actually lentils and pumpkin soup.
