Props Used in our Shoot

For our shoot we needed some main props to give our film opening the effect it needed to show any signs of success and to have a significance, these were as followed;



The Meat Cleaver we used in the film opening was used as an iconic piece of weaponry we chose this weapon due to its significance to the occupation of the killer and the relevance of it was to show his power and authority. This was chosen also to show some intertextuality with the knife used in the slasher film Scream ( Wes Craven, 1996)





The Apron or Piny of the killer was also a significant piece of prop work, this helped the audience pick up and know who or what the killer was and the occupation of the killer however it doesn't give too much away about the character other than a violent one due to chopping up meat.






The Black Boots were used to create a sense of power and authority with the sounds they made going down the stairs into the basement and across the basement floor this was also used to make and set a good image of the butcher uniform as apose to trainers or just normal shoes this was intertextuality from the film A Nightmare on Elm Street where by the Killer in that who was Freddy Cruger wore boots of a similar style and type
