    Hey everyone! So I've been thinking a lot about the film opening and wanted to give some insight from my readers out there about what they think about some prop ideas! 

    So props are used in movies or shows super often used as an important part for storytelling. They can have hug significance to a storyline and plot. They also help in establishing where the setting takes place like what time period a story is being played in. For example, if a sword is used in a scene that could signify that the setting is being taken place in medieval times. 

    For our project, we brainstormed a few ways that props can be incorporated into our project that would represent something significant. Since the whole point of the movie scene is to introduce our character, we wanted to show something that has a big impact on her life and how it prevents her to follow her dreams. 

Her wheelchair is what ultimately sets her apart from most people in her life so that

use of prop is important  since we see everyone else have the ability to do what

they want like pursue their acting careers but she is unable to due to her disability. So 

by using the wheel chair as a main prop, this tells us that she struggles with following 

her dreams because of it. Right now we have only thought of this as our main prop 

since no other part really requires more prop. We plan on getting a wheelchair by 

asking the school nurse to use one for a couple hours.  Overall, props are very limited  

as this is something that says a lot about what our character is about and what her 

greatest weaknesses are.  

Another "prop" that we wanted to use was a star pendant for Stella to wear throughout the scene. I'm not sure if this would count as a prop but we were thinking that we could order one on amazon or something for the opening.  We wanted to show the pendant as a significant symbol of her being born a star. So basically there is a back story to what signifies and that is that during her birth, her mother passed away but she always wore this necklace. Her mother wanted her to have it and cherish is for the rest of her life. Little does Stella know that her mom was a famous actress during her day. So her mom basically birthed out a born star. Kind of like the rebirth of the mother. This is her destiny and he necklace means everything to her as it's the only thing she has of her mother since she's never met her before.
