When the day arrived for us to start filming our Thriller, we realised that we had left both the video camera and the tripod. The camera situation was easily fixed by a friend who offered to lend us his own video camera. But we still had no tripod. Therefore, we had to create a makeshift one using a washing line and a shoe. Despite it's rather odd appearance, it was able to both hold the camera steady andalter the height and angle of the camera with much more ease than we could with a handheld shot.
Another problem was that the fake blood we needed (to put on the knife) looked TOO fake. It was too runny and too transparent of colour. To solve this, we had to thicken it, and we used peanut butter. Although probably not the best thing to use, it did thicken it up effectively.
