List of props.

Blitz sport standard rubber knife - £4.20
Theatre Blood - £1.55 x 5
Mens party wig - £8.00 T

Props, Soundtrack, etc.

As our opening sequence is of the zombie genre, we will require several props such as weapons and fake blood in order for our film to work. James will be getting the fake blood and makeup for the zombie characters, Jack will be getting the soundtrack for the film (a mix of generic zombie sound effects and non-diegtc music) and looking at locations for filming this weeked, I will help in getting some of the props (the bow and arrow, etc)
