The mise-en-scene that was involved in our trailer definitely aided in pushing our narrative forward. This included things such as: a home as our location, blood, a pretend knife, candles, phone flash light, Christmas decorations and gory make up.
Initially my group and I did not intend on making our horror trailer Christmas themed, as our prior idea was of a gathering at a friends house after their parents have gone away for the weekend. It began to be a horror themed Christmas trailer as we couldn't take the decorations down due to family tradition. We managed to prevent this from becoming an obstacle by incorporating it into our narrative as a sort of "Christmas demon". We used these decorations carefully by trying to incorporate them into as many shots/scenes as possible so that our audiences doesn't forget the theme of our trailer. Overall, I believe my group and I carefully handled the props, lighting and location in order to come out with a successful horror trailer.
