Costumes used in my trailer were fairly straight forward, for instance my main character, the father, needed a few different outfits. One being smart - to show he is a working man and brings in an income for his family, in contrast to his double life, he needed to look 'rough' and like he had not had a ways in a few days. Matching his distressed overall image. My policeman has to look presentable in front of camera, therefore a suit was needed - as looking at previous police statements where the spokesman wore a similar outfit. The other characters costumes were not tampered with as it was their everyday clothing.
I needed various props for my main characters, we needed to use a knife, shovel, washing basket with clothes, and a car. All of which were used in the trailer - they were to add emphasis on certain scenarios and to give the audience a talking point.
The correct setting was hard to find, I needed to go to various local locations to get different shots. For example I went to the local forest, to get different montage shots - the miss-en-scene here also added emphasis to the message of the trailer. My college also played a part as the grounds around had free, open space to film in where background noise would be a minimum and any of my peers who needed to be filmed were on location.
