Mise-en-scene
 Setting
we have chosen the typical horror film setting such as the 'scary' 'dark' woods setting and also a dark alleyway. These are very stereotypical towards horror films, in most horrors these settings occur. But just as normal mysterious horrors, we are using the ordinary house, neighbourhood and working person to make the killer seem to others as a normal working citizen.











Make up
we have chosen to use this to help our characters look more realistic, such as cuts and bruises on their bodies, and also being used to show the characters personality. In our film we are using a clown therefore we would need to get the clown to actually look like a clown but as in the muderous clown scenes we are wanting him to look dirty, scary and more 'murderous' so we would use make up to do this.










Props
The props  used in horror films are usually weapons, things that can be used as weapons, such as knifes, guns, sharp objects etc... These are usually found in crime scenes, on the killer or near the victim. In our film we are using the clown equipment in which a normal entertainment clown would use.














Lighting
The usual lighting effect in horrors are dull and dark, darkness shows fear which shows bad things are going to happen. We have decided to keep this lighting in our film to create more fear, creepiness and mystery in what could happen.

Costume
Costumes used in horror films are usually to bring out the characters personality. As we are using a clown costume we are indicating that the character is full of tricks, is mysterious and doesn't show their true identity such as the clown is shown to others as good but really he is a murderous scary figure.
