Props

Hello again. Today, I will be showing you some of the props I will be using in my film opening.

Prop 1: The Briefcase

Description: The briefcase is going to hold all of the other props as the briefcase is the one-stop shop for the agent's equipment. It holds all of the essentials that an agent would need to conduct a mission.

Prop 2: The "CONFIDENTIAL" File

Description: This file will contain the briefing of the mission the agent is tasked with. The scene won't show the contents of the file because it's conveyed later in the movie.

Prop 3: ID Badge

Description: The main purpose of the ID badge is to give our retired agent his clearance back, and reveal to the audience the agent's name.

Prop 4: Passport

Description: The mission would likely take the agent overseas, thus, a passport is needed to leave the country. Also iconic locations like London or Paris can be used in the film.

Prop 5: Memory Stick

Description: The mission requires the extraction of data from another person's computer. Since this needs to be done discretely, a USB memory stick is perfect.

Prop 6: Tablet

Description: The tablet is how the agent is given updates on his mission as well as reporting progress back to base.

Prop 7: Recording device

Description: The recording device is meant to be used by the agent to secretly record conversations without others knowing.

Prop 8 Camera

Description: The camera would be used by the agent to record photos or video evidence. The camera is not a smartphone so the data captured by it is not as easily traceable.

Prop 9: Money

Description: Every mission comes at a financial cost. Cash is less traceable than credit/debit cards. The prop itself is not real money though, it's fake.

These props cover most of the essentials an undercover agent would need to carry out a mission. I already had all the props lying around my house except for the file and ID badge. The file was made by gluing a paper slip with "CONFIDENTIAL" written on it to a regular folder and the badge was made with a free template found online and by laminating it with my picture.
