As a group we discussed the possibility of using a real axe when shooting as we all thought it would look realistic and eery, however, taking an axe out into a public woods would probably cause some unwanted attention from the police and public. We then did some extensive research into looking for a fake alternative. We found some realistic ones but they were significantly expensive.
This is the only fairly realistic fake axe we could find during our research, we liked that it was under £3 however, we think that it looked very fake and wouldn't give the look that we wanted. We thought that it wouldn't give the scare factor.
We considered changing our weapon and looked into buying a fake chainsaw. This seemed more promising however we realised that we could not wait for delivery if we wanted to film the day we had planned.
We came to the conclusion we would use a fake knife which would still work effectively on camera but would be much safer and easier to get to the woods and back.
