PROPS USED IN OUR HORROR TRAILER

These were the main props that had some sort of link to the storyline of our film

Knife

 We used a knife in the trailer as the murder weapon for one scene, which would enlighten the audience on what sort of murderer miles is, as he picked it up in the trailer it already had blood on it as if it had already been used for a previous killing. Even though the knife was shown in the trailer we didn’t show it being used for any of the killings and I admit this is where we had an error. I think that we didn’t end up using it because it was a real knife; we had safety issues to consider at the time. 

Black Hoody

 Identity was hidden using a hoody at times so that the majority of the killers body was hidden so that it did not give off a clear view of how miles the killer was being portrayed. Being completely different to the father figure he was meant to be, when he’s out of the killing identity. The reason behind the hoody being black is because that represents the villain being bad/evil, scheming and conniving. Hoodies themselves are seen as a symbol of rebellious activities and mayhem, in London hoodies was a topic brought up in the news numerous times following murders and robberies, as a team we thought this was a good idea to incorporate in our trailer to make our villain seem realistic and bad.

White mask

This mask was used to hide identity so that the victims of the killer didn’t know who was killing them, miles who was playing the psychopath wore a white mask during some of the scenes used in the trailer, this creates a sense of mystery for the victims as they do not have a clue as to who is murdering people, This adds an effect towards the audience leaving them wanting to go and see the film.  The fact that the mask had one emotion which contributed to the killers’ double life and personality leaving the audience feeling confused in some sense yet intrigued to see more.

Mobile Phone 

At the beginning of the trailer you will see a mobile phone where `Jordan's Dad' is shown this was to start off the trailer with some confusion and interest leaving the viewers interested to see what and how this may link to the disequilibrium of the film.
