Props (final murder weapon)

After we found out that a knife was the best idea we got to work on deciding the best way to make the knife murder look as real and scary as possible. We first thought that a drama knife would be a good idea as we could stab the victim (Matt Davison) without harming him as the knife would go into the handle but then we thought this may not give the film the real and gritty feel that we wanted it to have. We then decided that the only way to make it look real would be to use the blunt side of a real knife but to take it a step further we introduced blood to poor out of the knife whilst the cut was being done. To do this we found a 10mm syringe with a tube that fitted around it then taped this to the back of the knife we were going to use, as the knife is being moved along the victims neck someone out of shot will slowly push the syringe giving the effect of blood pouring from his neck.
