The Equipment

For filming and recording we used:

• 1x Boom Mic
• 1x Voice Recorder
• 1x Camera
• 1x Battery Powered LED Light
• 1x Tripod

However, we had a slight issue with the boom mic. The microphone stand wouldn't attach to the end of the pole: 

We overcame this situation by using layers of tape to secure it in place.

We also used:

• Homemade Fake Blood
• 1x Whiteboard (as a makeshift clapperboard)
• 1x Knife
• Polaroid Photographs

We would write the shot number (which we took from our story board), the take number, and the shot size on the board and held it in front of the camera before each shot so that it would be easy to find each shot during editing.

To make the fake blood, we used the top recipe on this website.

Mixing the Water, Syrup, Food Colouring,
and Flour together.

A bowl, Golden Syrup, Red Food Colouring
Water, Flower, Spoons, Jug, Brush.

The final result. The blood was
used on the knife and on "John's"
arm at the sink.
