Improving 'N' Painting Our Props

Yesterday during our single lesson we brought the spray paint as well as the props in as we wanted to make sure they looked authentic and fitted in with the theme and time period of our film. Therefore Katy and I used a hammer and made dents into the bucket so that it would look old/used. Then I then sprayed the bucket with primer/silver spray paint, to cover up the markings that were previously on it. After that I added a little black spray paint to add effect to the look, and as the paint was drying she used other materials to scratch/ mess up the pain to make the bucket look dirty and used.


Then to go into the transformation of the gun, it started off as orange however George decided that he wanted parts to look like more realistic, e.g wood and black metal, so we decided to cover the wood bits up with marking tape as Katy sprayed it. Katy painted the gun and after it was sprayed George added some silver bits of acrylic paint which we mixed up with black to make it darker to make it look even more authentic, this was are final outcome and process.





The last prop we improved was the sack to possibly go over our stunt actors head (undecided due to safety hazards). First I cut it in half as it would be too big on top of his head otherwise, and then I added black and green, in both light and dark shades, to make it look as if it was worn and used giving it more authenticity and a rustic effect.
