Set and Props

    A very important part of our project will the be the set and the props in the scenes. Because we are still in high school, we have to keep cost in mind.

Experimentation room

    Set: Any room can work because of the dark lighting. Ideally the room would be rectangularly shaped though. The room would be mostly empty with some wires laying on the ground running to the tank in the middle of the room. The tank needs to be decently sized and filled with a bright green liquid. I was thinking we could use Mountain Dew the soda as the green liquid. We would leave it out to get flat so the bubbles aren't seen in the tank. Soda is not cheap so we would build the tank in a specific way. Because we don't want to use too much soda, we would make a double walled tank out of flexible plastic. We would fill the space in between the walls so the soda only runs up the side of the walls instead of having to fill the whole tank. This would be great as it would also allow us to put a light inside the center of the tank to make it look like it is glowing.

    Props: The main props would be paper, pens, a laptop, and a cup. The paper and pen would be used for the scientist to write stuff down. We probably won't show any of the stuff that is written down so we don't need any actual data or information. The laptop would be used as the control unit for the tank. The laptop doesn't need to have anything important on it either as long as it has things on it that looks like data collection and controls. The cup would be filled with coffee to show that Dr. Nathaniel is sleep deprived and not in the right mindset. We could also take a short video of the cup falling paired with the sound of electricity arcing to imply the the cup spilled on the wires controlling the tank.

Hallways

    Thankfully, this area would not need any props and the set would be almost completely empty. We may ask some friends to act a other scientists in the facility so they might need to be holding some papers or clipboards.

Emergency Situation Room

    Set: There would be a long table centered in the room with a projector placed on top of it aiming at the front of the room. We were considering adding some potted plants on both sides of where the projector is pointing to add some color.

    

    Props: The props would be paper, pens, laptops, and cups just like in the experimentation room. The papers, pens, and cups would not be used in the scenes but are there to add realism to the table. The laptop could be used to display any important information for the scene.

Forest

    Set: Thankfully mother nature has us covered on this one so we won't need to bring anything else to create the set. We will just find a local forest that would be good to film in.

    Props: The only props used in the forest scenes would be the flashlights that the soldiers are using to try to find the escaped monster
