Prop Pictures

 These pictures show the main props we will use in our opening sequence. The newspaper tells the audience that there has been a murder, therefore setting up the story and setting the mysterious scene. This is a crucial prop as otherwise the audience might not understand what he is investigating about. These ideas are backed up by a criminal report which is shown below. This suggests to the audience the seriousness and the reality of the murder. Finally the prop of a letter with a husband and wives name on is very significant as it shows the man has/had a wife. This is not too effective on its own but it is when the audience sees an empty space on the breakfast table. This immediately suggests she is the one who has been murdered.
