We used a limited amount of costumes and props even though we understood how someone's appearance can offer assumptions to the audience by the nature of our genre, using many costumes would question the suitability of the scenes. We also knew that costume can add to the realism of the trailer as well as complementing the locations. We done this as we used a small range of costumes to show that the movie is filmed over one night. This is something I noticed in the Grave Encounters Movies where it tries to show the film shot over night as the project takes places people gathering in one night and this is something I believe we done well.
We also used other conventional props that may not be noticeable but just adds to the realness and feeling of the movie. One of these props was James’ torch which would be used in dark conditions.
One thing I felt we could have done better was introduce a costume that is completely different to what I was wearing. This is because my costume connoted casual whereas if we had me in jeans or something a bit more formal, it would add to the back story.

| Here is a screenshot of the torch light being used, in the dark. The light James’ using is a very important prop that is required to tell the audience the basic idea of the movie and makes the trailer much more understandable. As you can see, the light is the only prop in some shots. This gives it most prevalence and catches the audience's eye in the shot which again helps the audience identify the genre in the movie. |

| Here is a screenshot of me, again. As you can see here, as I am being filmed, I am also using a camera; this would a prop used to make it seem as if we were filming each other whilst following the narrative. Moreover, it also compliments the genre as it looks very realistic. |
