Props for our Thriller Film

We used different props for our thriller, but we used 4 main props which we kept simple and easily accessable. The four main props we used were a farmer's coat, a pillow, a picnic basket and a plastic gun.



We used the farmer's wax coat as Dan was a Grounds Keeper and needed to look like one. We didn't think that Dan looked old enough to be a keeper and therefore we put him into this coat to give him an 'aged' look. The pillow we used was to make Dan look larger around the stomach! We felt this was a stereotypical keeper and so we made sure the character was a 'stock' character. The plastic gun was a supplement for the real thing as we weren't old enough or legally allowed a real weapon! The picnic basket is an idea that came about after we changed our mind about the rave. Therefore, it is what teenagers could do in a forest therefore making the film more realistic.

We lastly used the most influencial prop: the pheasants. They are usually associated with a farmer or a farming family. This gave is the inspiration for the rest of the props.
