The document discusses three props that will be used in a trailer for a film: a teddy bear, cross necklace, and photograph. The teddy bear represents the girl's lost childhood innocence. The cross necklace links to religious horror conventions and whether the girl is possessed. A photograph of the girl and her friend will provide backstory and make audiences unsure of who to support between the girl and her antagonistic brother.

This will play the part of quite a predominant prop and
will be used in numerous shots, this is due to the whole narrative theme of childhood. By using this theme the film will shock the audience as we should associate childhood with innocence and happiness. The teddy bear is just a symbol of the innocence she once had. It also means we dont want to see harm happen to the young girl due to her still holding onto this part of her childhood.
Cross Necklace
A common convention of the horror genre is the link to
religious connotations which I have also incorporated into my trailer through the use of this prop. It gives the narrative enigma to whether the young girl is possessed or if she has come back from the afterlife either way having a direct link to religion.
Photograph
I am planning to include a photograph of the young girl and her friend. As I
feel this was give a back story to the narrative that is happening. To have the brother who is also the symbol of the antagonist shown in this vulnerable and sensitive way makes the audience unsure of where their loyalty lies.
