The document discusses prop choices for a movie inspired by films about young street gangsters. It recommends props like knives, cricket/baseball bats, wrenches, or brass knuckles since the story involves gaining reputation without murder. A chair and duct tape will be used to torture a victim. Key cards will also be used to foreshadow a betrayal - the king of spades as a bookmark, and the rookie having an ace of spades to suggest surpassing the king.

1. Prop List
When researching popular movies that belong to the same genre,
movies such as Snatch, Hot Fuzz and Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking
barrels seem to use very similar props. Since these movies are
based around young street gangsters, they do not relate to
mafia movies such as Goodfellas, The Godfather or Scarface.
Gun props would not be advised as the story consists of
gaining reputation without murder. So firearms will not be
considered, although possible alternatives consist of knives,
cricket/baseball bats, wrenches or brass knuckles. The
ensemble characters will use these, also I will be using a
chair and some duct tape for the victim for a clip where one
of the characters is torturing.
Additionally, during the confrontation between the street thug
and one of the gang members, I plan to use the props to help
foreshadow, further developing the plot. The gang member will
have book placed on his side of the table, with the king of
spades card used as a book mark. Although, since the plot
progresses, the audience understands that the rookie betrays
him. To help show that, I plan to foreshadow this by having
the rookie keep an ace of spades in his back pocket, since an
ace has a higher rank compared to a king, creating questions
being asked by the audience in just the first two minutes of
the movie.
