Costume and props may seem like a minor piece of the process of filming a trailer but when they are used carefully they can add a great effect to the tone of the trailer.
The Dress: Finding something that would be appropriate for 'Bloody Mary' to wear was difficult, I knew exactly what i wanted but couldn't find it anywhere. In the end I found a wedding dress that reminded me of tudor times, when Bloody Mary would have been alive. I feel that this adds a realistic tone to the trailer and makes the role easily recognisable, as this style of dress is symbolic of Bloody Mary.
The Victim & Friends Clothes: This was an easy choice, due to the victim and friends playing roles similar to their own lifestyles, they could just wear normal, casual clothes. However i did make a conscious choice to ask them to wear darker colours, as bright clothing may ruin the feel of certain clips and shots.
