Opening Sequence: Props

One we had thought about the character, costume and location, we began to think about props. I researched existing and the common props that are used throughout the horror genre. These include: curtains, household appliances which will create a sense of realism due to the domestic nature of these items. Also, we will use a mirror which will be a main focus as she will be looking into it and a figure will go past behind her - this will create a sense of mystery and suspense which will support the aim and ideology behind the sequence. Doors will slam, windows will unexpectedly open and curtains will move harshly without intention. This will further the mystery and horror concept. Floorboards and stairs will creak, as well as unexpected noises.
