Props of FIlm

 We are going to be using the tree as a prop when the first character is laid against it where they are dead and at the end where another character is hiding behind the tree. This is a good tree to use because of the fact it is quite narrow and therefore can see what is happening both sides. We may have issues with this because of the background showing so much light but can easily be resolved by changing the time of day which we are filming. The camera we have has got a flash on it so if needed we can add extra light to our filming and improve the quality of the footage. The tree is situated in the woods where we are planning on filming.
 The use of this pink camera will be shown when the characters are filming their video diary, which will make the film look more realistic and as though it is a true story. We are using this camera because the quality is slightly less that the camera which we have got for our filming in other parts. This is because the audience will be able to establish the difference between each footage. The characters will be using this throughout the trailer. The only problem which may occur when filming on this camera is that the lighting will be dark and there is unfortunately no way of brightening this until we come to the editing process.

We have a circle of angels which will be used as a feature in our film, especially when it comes to the part of the old woman telling the story to make it seem as though she is spiritual and holistic. The use of the angels seems common in horror films as a way of protection against evil, but somehow it always seems to occur. These angel ornaments will be shown in pictures, with added effects on it so it enhances the features on it. Angels will be used all of the living room of the house where the characters will later be sleeping because of it being in the same household of where the old woman will come. This is used again for protection against the antagonist which they will later discover does not actually work.  Both of these ornaments will be used in the trailer through the use of photos.


This prop will be used at the front of the woods to show that it is unsafe and hints to the audience that the woods should not be entered. The cone is slightly broken which makes it seem more chilling as it is something that might have happened before which ended badly. The cone will represent danger, abandoning and scary which are all common in horror trailers. The characters will ignore this, as they are females in this they are usually quite innocent and run into danger, which therefore means that something will happen to them.
