Make-up
Our main concern is with our "murder" scene at the start of the opening. we won't be showing the gun firing but will have an extended long shot drawing out of the room. the figure will lay on the ground with a bullet wound on the side of their temple and a blood spray on the walls behind. for the blood on the figure I think we'll use either a recipe or store bought fake blood. I'd look up a recipe and paste it here but I'm too squeamish and the pictures freak me out too much. As for the blood on the walls we are thinking of using red wax on paper before attaching it to the wall will some, not so sticky, sticky tape as to prevent residue.

Equipment
Our plans for equipment are as follows:
A camera (borrowing from school), a motion tracking device (currently borrowing from a friend), adapter for motion tracking device (now owned), green screen (already owned), editing software (can borrow from school but also already own) and a computer to edit (can borrow from school but also already own). Furthermore we will be borrowing a lot of cool stuff from our actor, Dan. He has a lot of stuff; Camera(s), Stabilisers, you name it.
