Props

          Hello, and welcome in. Today, I am going to be talking about a couple different props and their significance towards films. Props are very important in film making because without them a scene or film would feel empty. So, what are props? Well props are objects that are not apart of a set or worn by an actor. Props are used to help create a realistic setting and to convey information, they can also be used to add to the storytelling of a film by showing details about the characters or the environment. Just a reminder that props aren't just random objects on a set, they're tools each individually picked out to create a better scene for the audience.

        Hand Props

    Hand props can be any object that is held or carried by an actor in a film or television production. Although hand props may be small they form a key part of the story. Hand props can help define a character such as Mary Poppin's and her umbrella. It could also be used to fulfill a characters actions. For example when John Wick had to use a pen to defend himself from bad guys. The hand prop can also just be used to enhance a scene and make it more visually appealing. A hand prop that I wish to add to my project is a golf club because my film is about the sport Golf and I want to use this prop to make my scene look better.

        Set Props        

    The next type of prop I will be talking about is called a set prop. This type of prop is integral to the set design of the production. Set props are typically large movable objects that are not built into the set. Most of the time this could be furniture and includes things like chairs, couches, tables, rugs, etc. The main purpose of a set prop is to add to the look of the setting, in which the characters interact with. Set props can also be used to create believable environments or even establish mood. Since I am going to be recording my opening at a golf course I will mainly rely on the set props provided because it's a public place and I don't want to cause a disturbance.
