Planning - props

We have created a voice over to explain how our props fit the thriller genre.

Props; knife, Phone, Pin board, Binoculars, Car.

From research, the protagonist in 'The Boy Next Door', has a knife to defend herself. This is a stereotypical prop of the thriller genre. The prop makes the audience more unnerved as it is a everyday object (kitchen knife) becoming a weapon. We decided to show in  the trailer just a hand taking the knife, therefore the audience doesn't know if the antagonist or protagonist has the weapon, creating enigma.
