Props

There are several props that will need to be acquired for filming, including a table and chairs. These however will not be easy to transport to the location, and will need to be either accessible near or in the filming location.

Other props include fake knives, prop pistols, a sack (pillow case), handcuffs and key, playing cards and a locket.

The weapons were difficult to acquire due to availability, but alternative possibilities included:

* Holster with plastic knife

* Retractable blade - fake knife

Due to the contacts that one of the actors had, we were also able to acquire several prop guns and a rubber knife. It was important to find the safest option possible, and to ensure that there was someone on set who was trained in using them and was able to instruct others.

For the locket, it was decided that it would need to be large enough to be noticed, but not too expensive for monetary reasons and the fact that the context would require the prop to be altered visually. This was the one that was brought:

* Ebay Locket
