props

Having Props is an important way to identify a character and stereotypes associated with said character. For example, if there is a character wearing a blazer in a big house, you will associate success with him whereas if he is in a alleyway, people may think he is a dangerous gang leader.

Props in Movies:
Props also help separate the main characters from the background characters. A perfect example of this is Batman "The Dark Knight Rises."
    Batman wears a mask and cape which shows that he is the main character which is easy to idetify. Throughout the movie, we see hundreds of villains/ criminals escaping but the one that gains most attention is Bane as he wears an intimidating mask.

Props really help tell the story. Some genres share similar props. Our genre is Urban/Action and so we will look at other movies and see what props are frequent. The movies I'm looking at are Taken, Green Street and Rush hour.

                                 

My first prop will be a BB gun as we won't be able to use a  REAL GUN. Moreover, 2 of the 3 movies contain guns and so I understand that it is a vital part in an action movie. It doesn't always have

Looking at green street and kidulthood which are both urban movies, do have the use of guns but the use of baseball bats are emphasised. This will also be a realistic weapon.

Other props that we use are small props such as, fake blood, make-up for bruised effects and jewellery for distinguising between the status of the characters.
