Props

 

We bought a number of props for our trailer with the budget that we were given. We had to be very wise as we were only given £30 to buy the things we needed.

 

 

We bought fake blood for our trailer. This is a convention in horror and very iconic. We asked the staff members in the shop for advice on which blood looked more realistic and would work better and they recommended this particular one. This one worked really well as it was very thick and looked realistic.

 

The white contacts were also bought as a representation of the characters possession. White contacts are effective as they look scary and unhuman. The red contacts were also already purchased before hand and belonged to Paula (a member of the group). We kept these just in case we needed her red eyes for any scenes.

 

The cross was used for iconography in our trailer. Many horror trailers have religious aspects, especially with films relating to possessions and paranormal atmospheres. The cross was quite large and was used to show that the character may have been religious. Also, we thought that it could mean that the Grandma may have been a religious fanatic.

 

 

 

This is a magic fake knife that we also purchased from the party store. This knife was really effective as when pushed into an object, the knife would appear as though it were going into the person however, in reality, the knife is being pushed into the black section of the knife.
