Props

We had to consider the props we were going to include in our film trailer. So far we do have quite a lot of these, purely because our trailer takes place in a house where there is natural movement from younger children.
We are happy with the amount of props in this, and especially how they are used also.

1) Colouring Book And Pencils-During the first part of the trailer, a colouring book and pencils are shown.. This is used by the youngest character Zoey, portraying her family by drawing them. This shows her emotion and love for her family through this part of the trailer. This will draw the audience in with her innocence.

2)Mobile Phone- A mobile phone is used by Madison, this shows her teenage self and how she is typically 'Glued to her phone' as the elder generation would say. She is not very communicative when using this. This gives the audience the impression she doesn't typically pay attention.

3)PS3 Device- A PS3 device is used by Cody, he is a teenage boy that loves to play video games, including his number one favourite- Formula One. This is shown in the very beginning of the trailer and shows he is a boy that loves sport and video games.

4) Stuffed Bear-The stuffed bear is a personal possession for both Tyler and Zoey. This was bought for them as a gift by their Dad before he left. This is special to them both and is used in the trailer. This is also featured in the film. The innocence of the children is shown here.

5) Pearls- A string of pearls are placed around the bears neck. These pearls are both Tyler and Zoeys grandmothers, that was passed onto them before her death. Zoey keeps these safe around the bears neck, they are both important items to them both.
Overall we are happy with the props and their meaning behind them, although the audience may not know these.

6) Telephone- Cody is seen using a telephone in the end of the trailer where the climax is raised.
