Props

• Bed with pink covers to represent the innocence of a young child as she wakes up from a terrifying nightmare.
  

• 'Sweet Dreams' wording over the top of the child's bed was used to subtly hint at the main story which is strongly influences by her nightmares.

• We used a whiteboard and marker pen in order to highlight the idea that Rosie was a teacher. We chose to show her at work to represent that she is just a normal woman who experiences a normal everyday lifestyle. This gives the audience a sense of security.
  
• In the scene where Rosie is woken up by a loud bang she is lay on a sofa with a table and wine glass in front of her. The glass shows that she is at home relaxing and again connotes the idea that she has a very normal life.
  
• We lit a candle in the foreground of a shot with Evylyn walking behind. This added a sense of mystery and eeriness to the scene. The mirror next to the candle shows Evylyn walking slowly in the background. When researching, we found the use of reflections to be extremely effective in the horror genre to make the viewers feel on edge and scared.
  
• One of the most useful and effective props we used in the trailer was the sharp knife that Evylyn carried. The sharp objects connotes violence and fear throughout in order to create an unsettling experience fore viewers.
