In our film opening we will have Suzanne (Indya) having a a handbag which can be seen in the image on the right. We chose this handbag because it matched the outfit and would reinforce the reading that she is professional whilst still very feminine. This prop will only be seen from shots where Suzanne is reading her notes on a counter.
Additional props also include a black clipboard, black Biro pen, estate agent documents and a fake newspaper clipping discussing a murder that occurred at the house we are shooting the film opening in. These props would help establish greater verisimilitude of the character, Suzanne, and for the opening itself. The props will also reinforce the reading that the house will have a demonic spirit in it for which the narrative is based around. 
A final and most integral prop is a doll. To the left is a male doll which we'll be using for our film opening. Since the doll is a little boy the preferred reading will be of innocence. Old dolls, like this one (over 100 years old), are now commonly associated with supernatural horrors, and so the prop will help to reflect the code and conventions of supernatural horror movies.
