Props for our thriller opening.

Our thriller opening consisted of only a few props. For example, the police files, phone and bag it was placed in. We also made a dead body out of rope and a scarf, the rope was used to give more shape towards it.

This were the files I created for the detective seen. I researched police files on the internet and came up with a design which I thought looked relevant. I added 'confidential' in big red letters to make the files look important and added 'CASE: 00-172' which would show the case number their working with. Inside the files are pictures of the characters in out thriller and blank lines in so it looks like a file. We thought, as a group we could add the credits on the blank lines as the files are opening. We would used the 
macs for the credits.

This is the mask we used in our thriller. Jack's mum made this out of an old sheet, remembering to cut out eye and month holes. As we inspired our idea from 'The Strangers' we had to make sure ours was different in the way the make appeared. We added a point at the top and added a straight face rather than a smile. As a group we thought when the masked man would appear he could tilt his head to add a creepy feel to the audience. Also, we hoped that the mask would make the audience ask questions such as, 'why's he hiding his identity from the audience and the girl?' Overall, I think the mask will work well as we're filming at night so hopefully it will stand out for when he appears.


We also used a phone and a bag to place it in for the effect of finding evidence. I thought the bag worked well we were able to write the date and what case the murder was which made it more effective. We thought this was a good prop to use as when evidence is found at a murder scene they placed in a bag for safe keeping. I think we would be able to work with this prop as one line is 'what are we working with then?' and that's when we were thinking of holding up the bag.
