Props that we have used and why we have used them

During filming we used many items of clothing to represent our ideas subtly.
Here are some of the pieces and our ideas behind them:
 The trainers we used have the colours purple black and grey in them: The black represents evil, the grey represents the transaction from good to evil and the purple highlights on the characters femininity.
The use of trainers also highlights on the age of characters we are trying to portray in terms of adolescent and the stereotypical view of adolescence in the twenty first centre.
The irony of using this NYPD (New York Police Department) as well as the NYFD (New York Fire Department) (no picture attained) is highlighting on the major destruction that fire caused in the 2011 London riots and the arguable effectiveness of the police during these times. Obviously as they are NY departments it could highlight on the differences between the methods of the two places and there horror film representation.




  • The use of this gilet represents youth in the form of fashions and trends that almost become obsession. Ideally I would have liked to have used a SuperDry Gilet but did not have the funds.
  • Also the use of a hood to hide someones face is key to repressenting youth in a bad light. Certain groups of Youths are known as "Hoodies"







We have used these shorts to represent voyeruism and male gaze in our trailer.
this makes the youth of the actor we are using even more apparent.










  • The use of a black T-shirt is to represent the loss of inoscence. Another element highlight youths and passing from childhood to adulthood. This method is used in Psycho.
