| Diagram looking at the hands and the wrists. |
in a Psychological horror, the action is likely to be shown, even if it's for a short while, whereas with psychological thrillers, it usually depends on the audiences' perception of the killing, and it's more often than not , that the death will not be shown; Psychological thrillers focus more on the effect on the mind. For our trailer, we've decided to replace all the running shots of Olivia's character with little snippets of the head in a crime scene, to show the danger of the group to society as a collective.

Creating the hand, first using straws to replicate bone structure.
I then used string through little sections in the straw to replicate the tendons. After this, I added some terracotta clay in small balls to replicate knuckles, and from there create fingers. Keeping the whole thing from drying out before it was too late,was important, as the wax won't hold anything else after it's complete. Finally, I created fingernails and little veins to add more realistic features and painted it with brown acrylic paint. At the end, I put the prop hand into a glove, to depict that the person who died was of some sort of profession. The total creating time for the hand was 3 days.

| Beginning of creating the prop head. Instead of starting just from the base, I created lots of bone structures in order to really get the facial structure right before starting on facial features. Starting from the nose, I then went on to create nostrils, the cupid's bow, the base of the eye and the eyelids with terracotta clay. In order to keep the head from drying, I immersed the unfinished head in water, then wax and kept it in a plastic bag. |

| Creating the prop head. As a continuation from when I first started, I went on to add the Irises, the eyebrow, the ears, the back of the head and the neck. With the neck, in order to show some progression from last year, I experimented with creating a vertebrae, to give the impression that the victim's head was sawn off , rather than cut off. This was much harder, as some of the pieces couldn't hold against the main head, but I managed to fix this with some sewing thread. After using wax on the almost-completed head, I used acrylic paints to finish off the head, and then gave it some hair. The total time to create the head was 5 days, meaning that the total time to create the props this year was 8 days, instead of 2 days last year. |
