Prop Research

For our film opening many props are needed to give each scene a sense of validity. Props can vary in size. From something huge and expensive like a car to something as small as an item of food. Without props the film would not flow as well as it  potentially could. For this task we need to write our props list as we write our screenplay to make sure we do not miss anything as some of the props (bracelets) we need to buy and we only have a short period of time in which to buy all of the necessary props. It is very important to get the right props as it could make the shot or scene look jarring if they were incorrect. For example, if a wealthy person drove a cheap/damaged car.

Prop list:
1. Two phones.
2. Three matching bracelets.
3. One laptop.
4. Male shirt.

Mcguffin: In fiction, a mcguffin is a plot device in the form of some goal, desired object, or other motivator that the protagonist pursues, often with little or no narrative explanation. The specific nature of a mcguffin is typically unimportant to the overall plot. For example, like the feather in Forest Gump. In our film opening the bracelets represent the mcguffin.
