Location,Costume & Prop


Here you can see some of the locations that I have chosen to be the setting for my horror trailer. As you can see I have chosen locations that are rather naturalistic and simplistic. The reason I have done this is so it makes the narrative of the movie more believable as these are everyday locations and thus meaning it may be easier for the audience to relate to. However I will try and make the locations somewhat darker as I am hoping it will make them scarier. One of the locations is painted black I hope this will work as one of the key settings as the colour black has numerous connotations for being dark and negative. Also by having such a dark background it may allow other features to stand out more on screen, possibly mean they will have a stronger presence in the shot.

The costume I want my actors to wear is school 6th form attire, for example black trousers and shirt for the males and a black skirt and blouse for the females, due to the fact it will be more realistic and cheaper as all my actors have this. Although due to the fact that I will be filming on different days the trailer may be lacking in continuity editing so therefore I am going to make each of my actors wear a hoddie or jumper over the top, to keep realism and continuity editing at a high.

The props I am going to use are the camera I am filming with as I filming this film from a first person perspective with a handheld camera. Another prop I am hoping to use is a picture of an Ouija board, placed on some card to represent a real Ouija board.
