MODEL ANSWER EXAMPLE

The director uses a range of props. This is used across the scene such as the guns the thieves carry and the truck the thieves drive in. This has been used to connote the role of the characters to signify their role as thieves as they hold machine guns to be threatening and intimidating. Furthermore, the truck they drive in is represented as a ‘getaway’ car as it is large to fit a lot of people it in, little windows to hide them and drives up to the thieve on the pavement at a scheduled time which shows it was planning and they have resources to able to complete the robbery.
