Props:
As a group, we did not give a lot of thought for the types of props to use as we wanted the audience to focus on the character's feelings through her body language, dialogue etc. Although this linked into the simple structure that we required, many horror films emphasise props to convey particular messages to both the audience and the character involved. In order to maintain the idea of vulnerability for Chloe and her sister, Adeline had a little music box which sounded really good as we realised we could use it to contradict the scene which is going on-screen.
For the idea of contradicting the difference between happiness and being sad, horrors dwell on this as a vocal point to create tension and suspense. Chloe had a sweet photo of her and her sister playing together and looking really happy. We decided to use this as a means of making it more 'freaky' if there was say, scary music in the background or something terrible had just happened to one of the characters.
