Symbolism Of The Candles As A Prop

We looked at different ideas of horror movies that inspired us so that we could meet the horror genre. We looked at 1976 horror movie 'Carrie'. The candles are extremely significant in the movie as they represent religion and are a sinister element which conveys horror. We decided that we wanted to use this aspect as it looked quite menacing. Also as we are using the theme of religion in our trailer, we want to keep this element so that it can look effective. The candles can also represent Levi Strauss' binary opposition as light versus dark or life and death. The characters should represent this feature as there is a villain who's motives are evil and a victim who is pure and competent. We intend to use candles in a significant way which will entail fast pace music over it as it should link to the horror genre a lot as this sense of suspicion and guilt. The main character performs an exorcism on the necklace as it is a bad object, resulting in an unknown figure coming to haunt the final girl. Candles will be highlight in those scenes.
