Props - Research and Planning

 In our trailer we will most likely have small props that are stereotypically found in horror films. The main prop that we will be using is the tent that the characters stay in at the beginning of the teaser railer. It can act as the 'safe' point for the characters and become a meeting place whilst the girls are being hunted and haunted by the ghost. The characters will also have sleeping bags, but these will be irrelevant to the story, they are simply being used to create convincing mise-en-scene.

Other props will be much smaller and more compact, making them easy to carry. These objects will be sweets, phones, water etc. and they will be held in a bag owned by the characters. These will be referred tp by the characters within although they will hold no purpose to the story.
 

The phone, probably a popular iPhone or Blackberry, could be used by the characters to call for help, only to find out there's no signal, rendering it useless. Another object will be a torch which the characters will rely on when they try to run and hide from the ghost. Whilst running from the ghost, the characters will have to rely on the torch to give them light; they will be too scared and panic and in a panic to collect any other items, making them more useful for mise-en-scene.
