Props

Props are essential to any promotional video, in order to obtain a strong sense of realism and expressing the signs of verisimilitude towards the audience. Different props represent specific characteristics and will symbolise certain individuals in a unique way shown to the viewers. For example, when filming at 'Heston graveyard', a black cloak and gloves were required for the villain's character. From these props, show clear representations of a that particular figure is the killer, which is enhanced from the colour of the props being black. This colour connotes a series of death and emphasises the darkness in the film, as well as causing an enigma to form, from the black cloak not fully revealing the villain's profile.

Some props were not mentioned, such as fire and a knife. This is because when using these props when shooting, these elements were very hard to see as the dark was too strong. The fire also became a problem, as it was difficult to form with small twigs. Health and safety issues were acknowledged but the fire was not created due to the poor conditions of the weather.
