Production Concept: The Box

One of the harder tasks for this unit was finding a box to keep all of our production material in. Though it may seem simple, it was hard to find the right container we were looking for, we searched ebay, gumtree and amazon all to which most products were out of our price range, too small or were collect only.

As luck may have it, one day whilst walking through Maidstone in the local 2nd hand vintage shop, we found an old, rusted, medical tin which looked just the right size to hold all of our items and was being sold for a fair price. After buying it, we gave it a wipe over before, spray painting the whole thing black to match with the rest of the materials in our package. The paint has dried and the tin looks really good and matches the tone of the movie.
One thing that appealed most to us about the tin chest is the fact that it was rusted, as it felt like it fit with the story on an iconographic level.
