2. Knives- have used as Knives are a typical symbol associated
with a psychological thriller as they have connotations of blood,
death, pain and brutality. A typical representation of this would
be in the famous knife scene from Hitchcock's film 'Psycho'. Knives
are often used to show that somebody is going to get killed and
thus it acts a common device to keep the audience engaged within
this genre. Running water is often a symbol of death as it suggests
the draining of life or it is often associated with blood dripping
and suggests that the characters are in danger. 3. Costumes in
psychological thriller are normally quite colloquial or formal as
psychological thrillers convey many surreal themes so therefore

day clothing to create a sense of reality for my protagonist 4. For
my Psychological thriller film opening some of the props I will be
using to represent my protagonist as a compulsive and obsessed with

clear indicator to a character has a psychological illness to the

protagonist mental illness and also can be another indicator to the
audience highlighting my characters compulsive personality
