Task 3 - Props - Main Task

Props include:

• Car - This is used to create a greater sense of naturalism and also give the audience information about the character. The fact he can drive shows that he is over 17 years old.
• Phone - This is another naturalistic detail as well as allowing the character to have a conversation with a character who is not seen on screen.
• Kitchen utensils, home ornaments and food cans - These were very important props as they were used to show the audience the strangeness/OCD of the killer and therefore to put the audience into a state of uncertainty and suspense as to what will happen next.
• Wooden chair - During the research phase I noticed that there were multiple examples of thrillers including this type of prop. Its main use was to let the audience use their imagination as to what they believed happened in this scene. The fact we see tape wrapped around the legs of the chair indicates maybe some form of torture.
• Knife - The knife was used to implement fear into the audience as a knife is seen as a dangerous weapon. Therefore when the audience see it they know something catastrophic could happen in the near future.
