The art department is in charge of the setting, the props, the character's clothes and makeup,... making sure that they all follow a theme. We also do plannings on how to use colors and setting to foreshadow messages.
+) For the date of the party on the calendar, we specifically chose friday the 13th as a way to foreshadow bad luck and some thing tragic happening
Here is the prop list that Hanh Linh - the art director created for our project:

Our prop list was very detailed so on the day of the filming everything was well prepared
However, there's a mistake made in the process of planning: When ordering fake blood, we didn't estimate well how many mililiters we would have to use. Thus, we ordered too many bottles of blood that we didn't need to use (we bought 8 bottles even though we only need 1), which really cost us much more money that we could've used for other things.
Here is the mood board for the movie's overall theme and the character:
This is the mood board that I created for my pitch. Because we keep the concept the same so there's no need to make new mood boards.
Red is the main color of the film, which brings an alarming and violent feeling
The color palette of the main character is softer than that of the movie, but it is still connected with the theme through the color blue and brown.
Through the mood board, we can also see that the character's clothing style is dark academia, which relates directly to her identity as a nerd.
Here is the set design, drew by Hanh Linh:
