Equipment and Prop lists

Equipment list:
Canon 550D
+ Lenses
+ Tripod
+ Possibly a 2nd camera (although I'm sure we'll be fine without it)
Field Monitor [booked]
Marantz 660 [boooked]
Rifle Mic [booked]
Boom pole
Extra long XLR lead
Clapperboard?
We decided to use two cameras to speed up the shooting (we could cover two angles of a scene at once) since we only had one day to shoot all our footage. In the end we didn't take the field monitor because we were told that they are incompatible with DSLRs. Since we were recording sound and video separately, we took a clapperboard to make syncing the sound easier in post-production. Poppy also had a collection of different lenses for her camera and we came to the conclusion that these would be useful, especially in creating the soft focus for the dream sequence.
Prop List:
Bunch of flowers (preferably including tulips, but no worries if not)
MP3 Player/Ipod + headphones
Makeup for Hattie's runny nose (I may be able to supply this, I'll have an experiment over the weekend and see what I can come up with)
Makeup for actors? (If needed)
Notebook with scribbled poetry + Pen
Tissues for Hattie

*We also need to speak to actors about costumes.
 I experimented beforehand with makeup to make Hattie appear to have a runny nose - the simplest way I found was to use a dark pink lip balm and rub it around the bottom of the nose. This would be simple to apply on set and used in conjunction with tissues would be obvious on camera.
