Film props are objects used on set to enhance storytelling and create a believable environment in movies and television shows. These items can range from everyday objects like books and furniture to specialized items like weapons or magical artifacts. Props help actors interact with their surroundings and can be crucial for establishing the time period or setting of a scene. Props are typically categorized into two types: hand props, which are items actors hold or use, and set props, which are part of the scenery but not directly handled by the actors. The careful selection and design of props contribute significantly to the overall visual narrative and audience immersion in the film.
