One prop in particular, that we found difficult to get was the gravestone with Chloe's name on. This was because we would have to get a gravestone carved out which would be extremely expensive to do. Considering that our film is an independent film, we have a very low budget and so we were unable to get this prop within our budget. This meant that we had to change the story line slightly, and instead of showing the gravestone to the audience via a close up, we would show Chloe (as a ghost) seeing the gravestone while a voice over of her diary entry plays in the background, explaining what has happened.
Another difficult prop we had was the blood on the knife. We were unable to get the fake blood on the knife as it may have stained. Also, when we did try, the blood would just run off and so it didn't look very effective. Instead, we had to put the fake blood on some tissue and put the tissue on the knife. This means that this shot may not look that realistic although we tried our best to angle the camera so the tissue would not be too visible.
