Reasons for props etc.

Why these props?

We decided to use a syringe as our weapon of choice because it creates a medicinal/hospital impression on the audience to suggest that this killing is calculated and meticulous and not just the cliche gun/knife crime. This impression is also reinforced by the use of costume, because the killer wears a lab coat which is symbolic of a doctor figure, i.e. somebody who is supposed to be safe and actually he is the most dangerous.

Why this location?

We chose to do our filming in an old, dingy garage. This is because it it creates a tense atmosphere for the audience so that they understand something bad is happening. As well as this the lighting is naturally dim so created the impression that we wanted to make. As well as this our external location was an alley way because this is a typically dangerous place where people have to be careful. Therefore, it was perfect for the injection of the character.
