Test shotsLocation, props, costume

Location

This is the exterior of the family home that will appear within our trailer. This is conventional for a horror film as most successful horror films are based in similar locations. The effect this location gives off is isolation as it's down a street with few houses so this gives a suspicious effect and makes the trailer feel a little bit more creepy.

Location

This is the living room location for our trailer, this is conventional because in similar horror films they have used a basic living room setting to set a normal family environment. This will be used when the little girl roams the house at night and trashes downstairs.

Location

This is the small child's bedroom location of our trailer, this is conventional because in some successful horror films they have their main location in the child's bedroom as this is where the main haunting takes place. This will create a frightening effect as the little girl will see things written on her window.

LocationThis is the bathroom scene of our trailer, this is conventional because in horror films bad things happen behind someone in the mirror which the audience identifies but the character doesn't this is the effect we want to try and get to frighten our audience.

Location

this is the kitchen location for our trailer, this is conventional for our trailer as in some successful horror films they have used similar locations to make the house seem more normal so that it looks like a family environment.

Location

This is the garden scene where we will be shooting the outside scene of our trailer. This is conventional because in the night the garden gets darker towards the back so we can show the child walking into the darkness which creates a creepy/mysterious effect.

Props

This is the pen which will enable us to write on the window. This will help us create a frightening effect as we can write disturbing messages which will help the film get scarier as the little girl will be the only one who can see the text. This will help generate an overall better effect for our trailer.

Props

This is the teddy which we will be using in the trailer, this is what the little girl will be holding throughout the trailer as it’s her main possession. This will be a significant prop throughout as it will be destroyed by the evil spirit. We chose the bear in a bright colour so that it stands out when we film so that it exaggerates it significance.

Props

This is the note we will be using in the trailer. This is our main prop as it will be seen a lot throughout the trailer. This will be the girls method of communication to the spirit as it replies back to her on this slip of paper. This gives her commands and she obeys them which leads to her possession. This will be zoomed in on quite a lot as it is a very important prop.

Props

This is the vase which we will be using in the trailer. This will be the weapon where the girl attempts to smash it over her helpless mother. This is a conventional prop because in horrors households props are a resort of weaponry for protection. This will not actually be smashed but will help create a more tense effect.

Costume

Lewis

This is the outfit what Lewis will be wearing within our trailer. He will also look slightly formal to make the family look older. His clothing will represent his masculinity to help emphasise he is the dominant character in the house which is conventional in horrors which involve families because the male is the protector over the family.

Costume

This is the costume that Amy will be wearing, this outfit makes Amy look formal which makes her look older to portray the family image better. She will also be wearing make-up as well as it’s another mature prop which makes the female look slightly older which is the image we want.

Amy

Costume

Beth

This is the costume that Beth will be wearing, Beth is the little girl in the trailer so her clothing is quite stereotypical which is the image we want to create. She needs to look young because in the trailer she is of a young age so we need to appeal to our audience. Her clothing is quite formal but not to formal because she is a child and she doesn't need to be presented in a formal manner.
