A bike will be the only prop used in the opening scene of a film. The bike will represent both innocence as children play, but also crime as a means of transportation for illegal acts. The document discusses how bikes are a defining prop of the British Social Realism genre, as they commonly feature bikes and audiences may identify the genre based on this recurring prop.

1. Props Ideas
A bike is the only prop
that I'm going to be using
in my opening scene. It
will be used to represent
two things in the shots,
one being innocence as
you would relate a bike
to little kids riding
around with each other
but, on the other hand
people would associate
them to a way to travel
whilst committing crime.

2. I've chosen these two scenes of ‘Bullet Boy’
as they both use the prop of a bike. I
personally think a bike is big aspect of the
British Social Realism genre as most films of
this particular genre usually includes this
specific prop which then could mean that
the audience identify this genre by this
prop?
