Props, Costumes And Equipment

Props And Costumes

The props we will need for the trailer is fake blood, a plastic knife, a white boiler suit and a plain white boiler suit.

We used the scream mask to inspire our trailer and chose a similar mask for our killer. We think that this mask is effective because it is simple and not too complex which will make it more scarier. We masked our killer because it follows the conventions of a slasher and statistics show that in the box office slasher films sell the most. For example, since 1978-present slasher films have had the most sales at the box office (see below) which is why our group felt it was important to follow the conventions of a slasher film.

Our masked killer also was wearing a plain white boiler suit. We chose this costume because we liked the idea of having a simple costume. We had inspiration from the film Halloween and the character of Michael Myers who wears a navy denim boiler suit which looks very effective.

What equipment will you need to make and edit this film?

We will need a creamer and tripod, flip camera, actors, scripts and a location for our horror film. We also need to edit our footage on a Mac anduse the programme Movie Maker. We will need itunes to provide sound effects for our footage.
