2. We planned our props and costume extensively, and each prop or
part of costume was selected carefully. For example, we planned
for the protagonist to be in a blank white t-shirt, perhaps with dirt
stains on it, as a part of the narrative. Lots of the clothing we used
was not bought, as we owned something similar to what was
needed anyway. The antagonist was wearing black as black has
connotations with evil, which is the image we wanted him to
portray.
In terms of props, the syringe for example was taken from a local
veterinarian surgery. It was not of medical use, but its purpose is
originally to force feed animals through the mouth. We took it with
permission as we thought it would be inappropriate and unsafe to
use a medical syringe when a safe alternative can be used. Like the
costume, lots of the props were owned by us, and not bought just
for production.
