Props

 For my props I don’t plan on having many. Most of the props I need are accessible at the location of filming. For instance, the slot machine, washing machine, chair. What I do need to bring myself if a laundry basket. And it’s a pivotal prop in the story. 

Props are so important to tell a story and can tell a lot. Some props are so famous you can see and recognize what film it’s from. Example the lightsabers and star wars. For my film opening it’s nothing cool like that. Just a simple old blue laundry basket. But its significance is key to tell my story. 

The laundry basket is what hides her pregnant belly the whole first minute and 50 seconds. When she moves the laundry basket out of the way it reveals her pregnancy. The laundry basket will help me tell the story, because the audience will not suspect the plot twist at the end. It helps them better understand why she’s quitting gambling. For her baby. The laundry basket being there all the way helping me tell the story. 

My other props of course will be used to tell the story but this one shapes the rest of the movie. Reveals reason for the chaos.
