Props - Wood body scene

We will need to use a couple of props in our first scene in the woods where Matt and Scott find the body. Firstly, we will a mobile phone, which Scott will use to phone the police to report the body. This phone will not be a top of the range or new phone as both Matt and Scott are not intelligent or rich. They could be considered to have had a rough upbringing and as being underprivileged.

Secondly, we will need a playing card, which the killer in our film will use as a clue for the detectives to chase him. He places this ‘clue’ on each body he kills for the detectives to find, and this one is no different. Also, the number of the card, for example the ‘7 of spades’ is also important to the murder, as it indicates what number of murders the killer is up to and shows how far that the detectives have been chasing him. The killer places the card in a specific place on the body of his murder victims to make sure that the detectives can’t miss it and make sure that they know they are chasing the same notorious killer as they have been before. I’ve added pictures of the props which we will be intending on using in this first scene.

Furthermore, to make the body look more realistic and give it more effect, we will use fake dark blood from a bottle. This will also relate more to our genre as the use of fake blood will cause thrill and a sense of horrow in the film.
