Research of Props used in Thriller Films:
After researching famous thriller films, it shows that most thriller films consist of weapons such as knives, guns, explosives etc. This conveys fear and danger which adds tension and suspense. Examples of other props is the shower curtain in 'Psycho' and an axe in 'The Shining'. The different props depend on who is using them whether it be the Antagonist or Protagonist.
Mobile phone:
In the flashback of the girl running she will be holding a mobile phone whilst texting. We are using this as it will look like she's just coming back from a night out and will be checking her phone on the way home. It also means that this way she will not know anyone is following her to start with as she is occupied and not completely alert. This will be an inexpensive and less modern phone to convey to the audience that she comes from a less wealthy background and gives more information and depth on the character subtly.
As our prop for our protagonist/victim is quite different and modern, it can add a sense of suspense and thrill to the audience as they will question what the reason is for the characters to have the props and what will happen to the prop as the opening progresses.
