We will also use a regular kitchen knife, this connotes the suicidal thoughts from the main character again and also shows the danger he is in.


Some more props we will be using are empty alcohol bottles and pill bottles/pills and other drug related things. This will show the characters bad background and that he is in a rough place. We will do the pills by using paracetamol or another legal pill. We could also do the LSD tab shown by printing something out on some paper. Another thing we will use during our trailer would be cigarettes, this shows that he doesn't really care too much about his own well being. This comes from a thriller film I have watched called 'traffic' where there is consistent teen drug use where things such as smoking, taking pills and other drug use are shown throughout.

One of the main props that will be used in our trailer is a gun, this will be made by painting an old bb gun black using spray paint. This shows the suicidal thoughts from the main character and also makes the audience wonder whether he will use it or not. One of the films we took inspiration for this was from the film elephant where high school kids use guns to perform a mass school shooting.

Where has the inspiration from your prop ideas come from? Can you link to your research?
