props
In our trailer we used several different props which we use as murder weapons, and other important items throughout.
Rope
Chairs
Our trailer also requires the use of five chairs for the final scene. This meant the protagonist could place his five victims, one on each chair, and use them in a twisted display to show he's been killed. We tried to obtain chairs that were made of wood as this would show a more run down and working house feel and look. Despite most of the chairs not being visible through most of the scene they still added to the feel of the scene as a therapy group.

Plastic Bag
The plastic bag was used in the scene where the protagonist suffocated another victim. The scene began with him bumping into his victim in an alleyway. The plastic bag is a bland and basic household item that many people might have in their pockets. This is why it was chosen because it wasn't a premeditated attack but a spontaneous assault. The bag suggests he has to grab whatever is around him to use as a weapon.

Bath
For one of the murders in our trailer a bath was used to drown another victim. This was because she was found to be running a bath as the protagonist walked into the room. This meant she was drowned as it was the only available murder weapon. Furthermore, a bath is something you'd associate with cleanliness and relaxation but it was used contrastingly in our trailer to leave the audience thinking they weren't safe anywhere.

Phone
Mirror
We used two different mirrors in our trailer. The first one is seen when our protagonist is looking through the cupboards and sees the apparition behind him. This meant that he couldn't see it directly but it was still there. This supports the idea that the apparition cannot be seen directly but can be felt.
