Production Blog: Dress code & Props

Hey guys! I’m here to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the props and dress code we used while filming. During pre-filming, we often rearranged objects to fit the scene better. Luckily, we filmed in a spacious area—Callie’s living room—which already had plenty of blankets scattered around. These could easily be moved around for various scenes. As for the dress code, since we were filming right after school, most of us just carried our pajamas with us and changed later. There weren’t any specific color requirements, so the outfits looked more natural.

For props, we used a candle to create an ominous atmosphere and to add a bit of flickering light to the scene. It helped shift the mood just right. To make it feel more like a typical slumber party, we also used a deck of Uno cards, showing that we were just hanging out and playing games. Natalie even made a tarot card deck for a specific scene that was part of the script.

When it came to more sensitive props, we had a bottle of pills for the overdose scene. The pills were carefully laid out on the floor to create the proper effect. We made sure to take all the necessary precautions, including crossing out the pill bottle's label. After filming, we disposed of the leftover pills since we didn’t have a fake replacement.

Each prop and costume was chosen carefully to ensure the scene felt authentic. The slumber party vibe was important, and every detail—from the blankets to the cards—helped us achieve that.
