Location, Equipement Prop and Costume Ideas

Location

I want to create a post apocalyptic scene, that has very little signs of civilisation around. I have access to various rural areas that would be perfect for this. Woods, fields, derelict bunkers etc. The idea of this being that nature has taken over, and man is no longer the dominant race, giving room for the characters to face peril and ultimately seek, and find purpose in life.

I'm currently in the process of negotiating the use of an old bunker that is in the back garden of someone I know. This would be a perfect setting for some of the shots I am planning.

Props&Costume

Most of the props in my trailer will be primitive weapons, perhaps pipes, old tools and potentially bows, which I have access to.

In terms of costume I will be using old clothes, which (if necessary} I will tear and dirty to add to the post apocalyptic feel- no one has been able to make clothes for years. I am also taking some inspiration from Mad Max. I'm considering the use of ski goggles and balaclavas for the bandit characters. For the more futuristic style of costume I'm considering wet suits, preferably plainer ones.

Equipment

I have some DIY ideas for dollys etc that involve Lego. I am also in the process of negotiating access to some filming equipment for a short period of time. This would include lighting, cameras, and potentially a drone, allowing me to get certain shots that I wouldn't otherwise be able to get, at a professional standard.
