Information about props

The main props that we are using will be the killer’s tools which he will use in his garage, one of the main tools that the killer will use will be the welding mask. We have decided to use this as a main prop because we want our killer to seem anonymous throughout our film which adds to the scary oar of the film. The welding mask will cover most of the killer’s face, which will emphasise the appearance that we want our killer to reflect.

Another prop that the killer will be using is the yearbook. This is a major prop which determines the narrative of our film. The yearbook explains and shows the characters that have been murdered by the Killer. The marker pen will also be a key element with the yearbook, because the killer will use this to mark out the victims within the yearbook. We will be creating a yearbook so that we can make changes and adapt it to suit our film.

The least important props that we are going to use will be the van that the audience will only briefly see when the killers put the victims inside the back of it. The other props will be the microphones that the news reporters will be using. The props are least important and affective in contrast to the yearbook and the welding mask. This is because our important props determine the storyline for our film, where as the least important ones just add to the film instead of affecting the storyline. This is an advantage for us because we can add more props into the film without changing the storyline but adding the feel of the film, making it more of a horror film.
