Props

One main prop that we aim to use in our trailer, is a mask for the spooky stalker in our film. Our inspiration for this was the existing horror movie 'You're next', where characters wear a scary wolf mask to disguise their identity. We feel this would make the film more mysterious, leading to the audience wanting to watch the upcoming film to find out who's beneath it. We will purchase this mask from a fancy dress shop or online. Another significant prop that we aim to use in our trailer, is a mobile phone, that appears regularly in the film. Our inspiration for this is 'When a stranger calls' which is a film we have previously used as influence in terms of its structure. The mobile phone will be perhaps a warning for the characters in the film, and the audience that something bad is soon to happen. We aim to have the phone ring from an unknown number, giving a sense of mystery and fear towards the audience. The person on the end of the line will have a deep, scary voice and will not reveal their identity. This again will build up tension and fear. The Ring tone of this mobile will also be a significant factor in our trailer because it will again be a premonition of bad things to occur. Below on the right is an example of the significance of the mobile phone in the film 'when a stranger calls', we aim to use a similar phone to this.

We have began to search for masks online that we can purchase for filming our trailer. We found a scary animal mask, on amazon which we feel would be a perfect prop for our trailer: (above on the left)
