Planning Post for Props

For this part of the planning, I will focus on how props establish the crime genre and show/communicate power in the opening scene of my movie. because the opening relies on heavy narration and tension, the props need to suggest criminal activity but not explicitly show it. 

• A key prop I want to include is a few papers, forms, stacks of money, or envelopes being red through on the table where some men are sitting at. This can reinforce the idea that this is organized crime and not chaos. 
• Watches and rings will also be used and function as subtle props. Expensive jewelry can be seen as having large wealth and long standing influence/authority, especially for the older members of the gang, I do not plan on giving this jewelry to the younger members, because I want to symbolize their lower status in the gang.
• Cigarettes or glasses of alcoholic beverages can establish atmosphere in the basement. I plan for background actors to do these to add to the realism. 
• I also had an idea to add furniture to the room to make it so it looks livable/lived in to increase realism. Furniture like couches, tables, and chairs.

This is what I had in mind for the rings/jewelry
