Props in a thriller film are often included for a symbolic effect, for example the characters may have props that are personal to them which give a glimpse of how that character may influence the outcome of the film. An example of this would be a man with an expensive car, this could be seen as symbolic of the man's personality showing him as flash, arrogant and egotistic.
Props can also be used in a thriller as a turning point in the film for example in our thriller clip a mobile phone is used as the link between Nathan's murder being discovered by James and so the phone becomes a vital prop which is fundamental to the rest of the clip.
Another prop we used was the knife towards the end of the thriller when James has tied up Ryan. The knife represents how even though at the beginning of the thriller James appear to be the 'good guy', towards the end he has now become a crazed killer, hunting for revenge of Nathan's death.
Costumes are also very important to thriller films as it lets the viewer create an idea of who they think to be the victims and who are the suspects. For example a young girl dressed in a light colour like white or pink would create an image in the readers mind that she is innocent and pure, therefore becoming a victim.
In our thriller Ryan is wearing dark colours and clothes that cover up the majority of his face and body, James will be wearing lighter clothes for example blue or grey at the beginning of the play but after he has captured Ryan and tied him up he will be dressed in darker clothes like black or red.
