Pre Production Planning: Props

Prop 1 - A rope thats bloody

This would be the rope that our main character Jack will be hanged with at the end of the film. This fact that it is bloody brings a sense of terror and horror as it is associated with previous murders. Using the rope will bring surprise and terror when the character sees the children at the end and gets captured by them. This is in the codes and conventions within a normal thriller and horror. Normally associated with the rope means that death is upon him, and this shot will be around his neck at the end of the film.                                                                                                        

Prop 2 - a gravestone

This will be the gravestone within our film. This gravestone is where the main character Jack would see his name on the gravestone and the date of when the film is set and filmed and the date in which the film is set. This gravestone will be made by us making a plaque to be written in Jack's name with it. This will increase the tension within our film and fulfil the codes and conventions within a thriller and will create horror to the audience.
