BLOODY KNIFE
A sharp kitchen knife is a classic horror choice of weapon which is used in many classic horrors such as Scream. This prop will help give our trailer a chance to show a lot of blood as this type of weapon is used to create a large amount of blood splatter, blood in horror is always important as it makes the audience cringe and makes them feel uncomfortable. CHAINSAW
A chainsaw is the perfect prop for a horror trailer, used in films such as the chainsaw massacre. It is a feared piece of equipment and extremely dangerous, which is why we will most likely not use this as a weapon, but definitely use it as a prop in the background of the killers home to help show off the kind of character he is. The chainsaw would be an amazing to use as a weapon in our trailer due to its brutality, the blood splatter it causes would give really good effect to cringe out our audience so we may use the sound of the chainsaw and try to replicate its effects, but it will not be used on screen. |
BARBED WIRE BASEBALL BAT
A baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire may be a choice of weapon we use for our killer. This prop is quite unique and not often seen in films, also the use of this blunt weapon will give the impression that the person on the other end of it will be severely hurt and experience a lot of pain. If this prop is not used as a weapon in our trailer it will be used in the background, to add to the kind of image we are trying to give our killer. JEWELLERY
Jewellery, such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, etc. will be used in our trailer as a prop, it will be what the thieves are stealing from peoples houses, which helps to lead them getting into trouble. |
WOODEN TABLE
An old style wooden table will be used in our trailer. It will be used as a torture table for his victims, the old style of the table will help give a creepy effect for the audience and unsettle them. Also fake blood will show up really well on this type of table, this is good for our trailer as it is focused around gore. |
ROPE
Rope will be used a lot throughout our trailer for many reasons. We may use it to tie down the killer's victim and to restrain him, as well as this it can be used to sit in the backdrop of certain shots to help give off a creepy effect, if tied in a noose knot. |
FLANNEL
A flannel will be used within our trailer to help perform a torture technique. The torture method we wish to execute with this prop is waterboarding, which consists of the victim being drowned on a table with a flannel or similar object over there face. This does not allow them to breath and causes them to struggle and suffer. |
