Problems with delivery times

When ordering the items which we need for the police costumes. I came across the delivery times on the items, and checking that they will be here before shooting. Most of the items I ordered were from the British Isles but the police badges which we need for the cap, were going to be imported from Thailand and they were expecting the delivery to be in-between 22nd January to the 7th February. I thought that this was going to be risking ordering them and not arriving in time.

I had a little panic, about were can I get some more badges made. I was very lucky to be on holiday in Bali, were I contacted a embroidery company who was able to make me some badges. I took a image of the badges from the internet to show them what I would like them to be like, we talked about colours, size and what material to use. Below is a image of what the final badges looks like from the embroidery company. 

Purchasing in costumes

I have also been researching in to purchasing in costumes in various online websites. I have mostly been looking in to the police costumes. As from my previous post, I found it really difficult to find some black caps which had police on them. So I had to research in black caps as well as police badges, which was a bit of a mission to find some realistic police badges. Below is what I am going to purchase for our thriller costumes.

Police iron on badge: £1.97

Marksmen black cap: £1.39

Police marksmen jacket: £10 

Police trousers: We are going to email our cast and see if they have any black trousers like these, if not we will purchase them to size and order. 

Above is some police boots, which look very realastic. We haven't purchase any of these as the cast may have some similar ones. 

Costumes for the marksmen

What I have been doing over the last couple of days is researching in to what our marksmen would be wearing on the top of the roof. After researching many images of marksmen's, I found a perfect one of what I had imaged in my mind. My image was wearing black jacket/coat, earpieces, cap/hat and then a marksmen gun beside them. This is the image which I found which I would like our marksmen to look like. 

As above these marksmen have black caps on with police printed on. We found it very difficult to buy caps with police on them. So we will have to purchase in some police badges. We also want to make it clear to the audience that these marksmen are police and not the robbers, as both are wearing black. 

Emailing for enquire about a police cap

Above is where I emailed Deenside Limited to enquire about purchasing a police marks man cap. They came back and said 'Unfortunately we would be unable to sell you this product as it has a police logo on it'. It is a great shame, but we will keep looking for the most realstic.

Dave Fonska

 

Policeman:

 Adam Grant

 

Ian Barter

 

 

Above is our casting list for our thriller. I found this very diffcult to find the perfect cast, as it is has to be right and the most realetic experiance characters. For the armed robbers, we have chosen characters which look the part for acting as a armed robbers, and who look like they are rough and ready. For the policeman, they also look like they are rough and ready, and ready to tackle anything. We have chosen all teachers, as they all look older and more realatic, that this would happened day to day. If we have chosen teenagers, they dont look the part for playing either armed robber or policeman. I think we have chosen the right cast for our thriller, to make it as realatic as much as possible.
