The style of our film; and OTS is slasher, it is necessary to use sharp objects as the murder weapon. The most traditional item is a knife, which has been used a great magnitude of times. As we are already challenging the conventions of an OTS, with using pictures rather than clips, we thought that it would be safer to use a popular choice of murder weapon, as we didn't want to challenge the conventions too much. We have a close up on the weapon, the reason for this, is to show our audience the choice of weapon. Doing this allows them to look out for the knife when watching our film, and our OTS.
