Props for our Thriller Production

· Blinds for the house scene when wife calls Rex up while he’s at the meeting because slattered blinds are a key thriller signifier. We are also hoping to use white slattered blinds, so its more likely to create shadows.
· Suits for the men to wear , such as dark colours like black to connote feeling of mystery and it fits in with the night scene at the park. Wearing suits is also typical of the thriller genre. We also want the dark colours to fit in with the night scene and blend in so the men don't stand out,
· Cigarettes to be used as a thriller signifier. (Mainly for Rex, for the panning shot when he is shown stubbing the cigarette on the ground. This is a known key thriller signifier, and it gives us the ability to use panning up shot along the male protagonist body.
· Guns (fake) to be used in the chase scene, as a gun is what is used to kill one of the members of the gang "Ecstasy." This will create a cliff hanger at the end of our introduction, and create a more tense atmosphere.
· Fan for in the house scene as it is also a known thriller signifier.
· Wife to be wearing stylish clothes. Red to connote danger and passion, and also to add to her sexuality. Wearing red clothes also connotes love, and the wife will also be wearing red lipstick to match, to add to the affect of her persona.
· Binoculars for the beginning shot, so it looks more mysterious and it uses special effects, making the scene looking more technical.
· Dark glasses to show authority and is again typical of a thriller film.
