Props! And Various Other Things!

What will I need for this opening?

So I was doing some exploring around my garage for a hammer as I originally wanted to have that be the weapon that will be used by the murderer. But I ended up finding something better.

I found this thing! I thought it screamed creepy murder weapon so I decided to replace the hammer with whatever this rusty pickaxe.

Another prop. I plan to use this bag for the backpack that the killer will be wearing throughout the opening.

Now thinking of some props and essentials that I do not yet have I have quite a few. Now I don't think I would do well in the role of the killer, even though you would basically never see me I feel that it would be noticeable that a not so scary person was behind the camera. For this role I plan of having my friend play the role, as he weighs more than I do and is taller than me and I feel that his presence will translate well to video. At the end I plan on being "Arthur Lancaster" the person you never see but you hear. I think I could do the role well, all I have is one line so it's simple enough. And I could get my friend Elizabeth the be the person walking the dog by the killer. I'll have her walk my dog Selena by the killer and say hi.

Picture of the Selena!! (Really an excuse to put a picture of my dog here but a valid excuse)

For the costume design I will go for all black. Maybe black pants or jeans for the killer and a big black jacket. I want to give off the vibe that the killer is not trying to be seen at night so the all black would make sense. I think i'd want to find a pair of messed up and damaged sneakers for the killer to wear just to have that little detail that this person does not care about much.

As for the set locations I will use my house for a good few of them (place killer breaks into, Garage as the place where the killer is in the beginning), my neighborhood, as well as my friends neighborhoods and homes. As part of the opening is the killer trying to break into different homes, I will use my friends homes. Because there is no way I would be able to ask my neighbors if I could pretend to look like I'm trying to break into their homes. So i'll use two of my friends houses for that.
