Props
We mainly used 2 cameras as props in our Teaser Trailer which was a camera this was vital in our Trailer due to the fact that our Trailer is a movie which was made out of footage for a tv show.
we used one camera to capture our footage and one as a prop to make it clear that it was not made to be a movie and to show that its a tv series but this prop was to clearly show to the audience its a real horror movie and to create the tention of what is going to happen next to the characters.

we also used a torch as a prop. this was another prop we needed, we needed to see what was happening and also make a clear view of whats infront of them and to focus more on whats in the distance throughout the trailer. This makes me personally unaware whats behind them.
In our Teaser Trailer we also used a Wheelchair as this was a prop which makes the audience believe that their is something their, we are using this as it came from the idea of Grave encounters. This was a great idea to use which would make it clear to the audience that we are trying to find ghosts but the wheelchair is just an indication that their is something around.
To create a scene of a cast member getting pulled by a ghost, we used a skateboard to get the effect of someone being dragged down the corridor we positioned the cast member "Brad" to a way of which you couldn't see the skateboard this also helped with the camera positioning too. even though you couldn't see the prop, it was a great prop to use for our teaser trailer as it gave off a great effect.
We also used a gym matt with in our teaser trailer. All though it can't be seen in the trailer, it was under the camera to create our effective last shot when our victim gets thrown towards the camera. This allowed the audience to get a feel of fear as he is thrown into the air and lands on the floor. To enable the safety of our group we used the gym matt to ensure a safe and comfortable landing.
