Selection of Props

We also needed to decide on what props we were going to use in our trailer. Since our film is an thriller with elements of action and crime, we would need to include weapons to conform to the conventions of the genre.

Weapons - We will need to use some weapons as our trailer is a thriller, specifically with elements of action and crime. We could use guns to imply there is a level of danger and violence in our film. We could also use melee/hand-held weapons like bats and knives, etc. Again to show the violence of our trailer.

Phones - Phones are another prop that could be used, they can be used for scenes where characters talk over the phone and we could also show a dropped phone with a cracked screen in the kidnapping.

Bags and Tissues/Cloth - For the kidnapping scene, there are a range of ways we are thinking of carrying out the kidnapping, we could either have the antagonist put a bag over the protagonist's wife's head or we could get the antagonist to sneak up behind the wife and hold a tissue over her mouth to imply there is a chemical on the tissue/cloth.

Cars - Finally, we could use cars for multiple shots. Firstly, we could use a car in a get away scene of some sort to increase the amount of action in our film trailer. We could also use a car boot to show the antagonist or his henchmen preparing weapons.
