Finding our props, costume and location for our opening scene

As a group, we each decided we were happy to contribute 20 pounds in order to purchase all the possible costume/props we might have needed, since our scene takes place in an elevator, no extravagant costume pieces were needed, but we had to take into consideration that due to the genre, we would be using fake blood, and we would need to purchase any costume that would get bloody. We looked online for our props and looked up recipes for fake blood we could use.

 

Since our scene only takes place in one location, we plan on shooting within the elevator at our school. We plan for it to look something like this: Our opening sequence is casual, as it's meant to look normal initially, before the fight sequence. but due to the fight sequence, we had to think about what the woman could wear that would tear as she was fighting. We researched business casual attire, as that's what we plan to dress her in, although many of her clothes could be things already owned or in the costume department.

Since our location is fixed, and we only have one, we plan to film in the elevator in our school building. Here are some example pictures of the look we're going for: A metallic, sleek, simple, generic elevator that doesn't have mirrors, which we would film the fight sequence in.
