During a lesson my group and I went out to find props we would like to use in our trailer we tried to find props that will connect with the name of our trailer. Since our trailer is called 'Midnight Massacre 2' we decided to use a mask as the main prop in the trailer. As masks are iconic in horror films such as 'Friday 13th , Scream etc , we decided to make it more of a feminine mask so we can go against the typical sterotype of it being a man behind the mask.
Also with the clothes used in slasher horror films , it tends to be rugged and wrecked. Once again we just want to go against that whole sterotype and make the custome of our killer dark yet classy , still giving you the sense of slasher horror but with a twist. When discussing what props we would like to use for our trailer we had to narrow down a number of props to certain props that will make our trailer stand out from the rest.
We decided to use a clock in our trailer to symbolise time ticking away towards midnight , to also show that time is running out. We also decided to use a red pen , red symoblises blood which we were going to use to circle the pictures we are going to use in our trailer - to represent a target. To get the whole horror concept on point , we decided to use many pictures in the trailer to emphasise the killer's psychopathic ways. We decided to use these pictures because since we are only doing a short trailer we wanted the audience to get a glimpse of what are plans are.
