Ancillary Poster - The Beginning

I started thinking of some ideas for the film poster now and I had a pretty good one.
The idea was to have the focal point of the picture being a smashed and broken camcorder on the floor with blood spilling from it. So my next job was to now look for a broken camcorder to borrow.

In terms of the idea fitting in with the teaser trailer and creating a three piece promotional package (with the teaser trailer, the poster and the magazine when it is made), the camera, broken on the floor next to a puddle of blood represents death. The fact that the blood is on the floor next to the camera, but with no other people around poses the question that the blood may have come from the camera itself and that the camera is alive. This would then pose the question that the camera may have killed the characters. I wanted my teaser trailer to leave a lot of questions in the audiences head.
At the end of my teaser trailer I am thinking about putting a shot showing the camera on the floor, either been dropped or placed there (probably dropped), with a grainy effect on it showing a puddle of blood growing towards the lens. This would then be almost a direct follow-on to the poster as the picture of the camera on the floor next to the blood could be what the camera has seen last. This would then make these two products link together.
