Props

The use of props in our film will consist of items that will give the reader as much possible information about the character to help the audience determine what is going on, why something is happening as well as giving the audience personal and specific information about the characters.

Such items will be the use of a police detectives badge of a unique branch of the police. This will give the audience personal information about the character such as hard working, brave, ambitious, a leader, analytical, perspective of the job at hand therefore seeing no obstacles, and also that he up holds the law which is in contrast to the serial killer.
In addition to this the use of specialist equipment for example high tech computers therefore showing the audience that he is of a high technical caliber as well as being a computer whiz.

Furthermore the serial killer will be seen using items such as knives, hammers and basic tools. This shows the audience that this character is primitive as well as being outside of society as he has to resort to using basic tools by himself showing that he is all alone. Also the audience may see the character as being neurotic making him seem more outside of normality. In addition this character may use more old fashioned equipment, either for writing or movement. He may use a fountain pen not because he is of a high class but because that is what he remembers his parents doing and that is the way he was brought up. This increases the audiences fear and thoughts that he is outside of society.
