Task Eight: Props

Weapons
We have chosen to give each character a weapon that we feel complements their personality. This is so we can continue the custom we used for developing our character where they each have a unique aspect which matches their personality, e.g. their names. The only problem we will face is that when purchasing the firearms, you have to have a license to buy them with black paint. Therefore, to get around this, we will buy matte black and gloss black spray paint, and spray them to make them appear overall more realistic. This will contribute greatly to the authenticity of our final product. The weapons that we have chosen to use are shown down below:

• G36C - This will be wielded by Odin. It is an all purpose assault rifle which comes equipped with an optic sight to add to the authenticity. This certain one is approximately 74 cm long which is only 1 cm shorter than those used by the military. This weapon is perfect for Odin as he is a all round leader with no speciality but is considered the most efficient member of the group.

•  SA80 - The SA80 is a long range, british army grade battle rifle. It is approximately 89 cm long and features a optic sight as well as an extendable stock. This is Oracle's weapon. This will be best suited for him as he is the recon, overseeing the battlefield from a distance. However this weapon will not be seen as often as the others as Oracle usually does not appear on the battlefield and prefers to observe and guide the team from a safe location, under dense camouflage. 

• Spas 12 - The Spas 12 is a powerful pump action, 12 gauge shotgun which is deadly in close quarters combat. It is 60 cm long and weighs 1.2 KG. This will be Hulk's weapon of choice as it emphasises his brutal nature and strength. It will feature throughout the whole trailer and will lbw primarily used in scenes which are shot in a closed environment.

• Nunchucks - The nunchucks are lethal close combat weapons that are lightweight and silent. This is why we have chosen this weapon for Eclipse to suit her small physique which allows her to be agile and manoeuvre easily over obstacles. It is also perfect for her stealth like approach and her ability to take out enemies without anyone knowing she was ever there.

• This is the pistol that we have selected for Reaper to use. It is a Beretta M9, powered by a CO2 canister. It has an extremely realistic effect making our trailer appear overall more authentic. This weapon suits Reaper's quick-paced fighting style. This weapon will also feature throughout the whole trailer, alongside some of the other weapons we wish to use within our trailer.

Others

• Oracle will also wear an earpiece. This is to emphasise his role as an overwatch as he needs to be able to relay messages to every member of the team as quickly and efficiently as possible.

• As well as a headset, Oracle will also use a laptop. This will be used mainly for his character's surveillance operations, but also, in one particular scene, the laptop will be used for hacking into enemy databases and stealing the information.
