''A prop, formally known as (theatrical) property, is an object used on stage or on screen by actors during a performance or screen production. In practical terms, a prop is considered to be anything movable orportable on a stage or a set, distinct from the actors,scenery, costumes, and electrical equipment''
There are many typical props that are used in a drama film to help convey the tension and drive the narrative. Examples of props that are frequently used in a drama short film are;
-Guns
-Knives
-Drugs
-Mobile Phones
-Alcohol
Within our short film we are using two of these main elements of a drama film. The first feature we are using is a mobile phone. Considering our short film idea is all about cyber-bullying, the character, Lucy's phone is the most important prop in order to portray a clear message that she is getting bullied. Secondly, we are using prescribed drugs in our short film. Right at the end of our short film, we conclude our film with the character committing suicide by overdosing on her mother's pills that she finds in the bathroom cupboard.
