Props idea

Although we are not going to be using that many props in our opening sequence they are important and can have a lot of affect on the audience and what there attention is drawn towards.We are not using that many props as we want the audience to be focusing on the briefcase and what the character is doing rather than trying to get in to many irrelevant props which can distract the audience. The location will hopefully set the atmosphere in our film so we wont need many props as the main focus should be on the character and his briefcase.

In films such as Al Pacino Scar-face props have been used to emphasis his power and prestige as you can see in the picture below he is surrounded by gold and alcohol. The gold is a sign to the audience of how rich he and the alcohol could be a sign of how corrupt he is as alcohol can be associated with drugs and criminal behaviour . This signifies to the audience what type of film it is. Everything in the me-en-scene at this time in the films adds to the negative atmosphere which is being created by location, props, costumes and he Scarfaces facial expressions.We want to keep the identity of our character unknown which will create suspense.
