Props

For our Thriller opening we decided not to use that many props, this was because a Thriller opening is about what a person feels not about how many props they have. However, we did use some props for example, a mobile phone, a plastic bag and two police files. We also used a scarf which was used to cover the body. To make the shape we used rope, this was so Hayley could still work the camera.   

This is a photo of the two police files that Hayley made. She thought adding the words 'Confidential' in big red writing would add effect and make the files look important. She added the letters 'CASE: 00-172' which showed the case number the detectives were working with. Inside the files Hayley added photos of us, this is where we added the credits. We will used the Mac's to make the writing appear. 

This is the mask we used in our Thriller opening. Jack's mum made this out of an old sheet, remembering to cut out eye and month holes. As we inspired our idea from 'The Strangers' we had to make sure ours was different to make sure that it wasn't see as copyright. Also, we hoped that the mask would make the audience ask questions such as, 'why's he hiding his identity from the audience ?' Overall, I think that the mask helped in making our thriller better, this is because nothing is as it seems.

We also used a phone and a bag to place it in for the effect of finding evidence. We thought the bag worked well, we decided to write the date and what case the murder was, which made it more effective. We thought this was a good prop to use as when evidence is found at a murder scene they placed in a bag for safe keeping, and to make sure the evidence doesn't get lost.
