Props
Despite our horror being about vampires props are still a very important part of the trailer. Blood is the main crucial prop in our horror

With the whip it is a major theme of sexual activity and attraction. The use of the black leather indicates a sinister feel towards the trailer and highlights the initial idea of Sadism running through our whole storyline and involving the infliction or reception of pain or humiliation.

Blood
Blood is a MAJOR prop, as without it we would not be able to achieve our genre effectively. We are testing out a range of blood techniques in order to get a clear idea on what looks best on camera. Buying the blood would be easiest as it is made professionally, however it is not alternatively cheap, and therefore lead us to the decision to make our own edible blood with our previous experience with recipes which is found on the page ',making blood'. We are also going to make non edible blood that will wash out of clothing which consists of washing up liquid and red food colouring. It is thick, gloopy and dark as tested, and it is also very cheap and we are able to make a significant amount of it.
Blood Capsules are easy to use and are luckily provided by the school, however the taste is almost unbearable and distracting. Therefore we are going to be testing our home made blood and use the capsules as a worse case scenario.
The classic knife is a significant prop, it is hysterically painful and is seen throughout multiple horror movies including 'Scream'. We are going to put celotape around the sharp edges to avoid anyone getting hurt, and then we are using a tube of blood which can be so realistic when killing and torturing.
