Props 

     Hi blog! Let's talk about props! Me and my group are using many props to develop our two minute opening. We are using some that we already had in our homes, and we ordered some. 

     Main props: 

- Notebook

- Lab coat

- Marbles 

-Flasks 

- Pill making kit

- Mason jars 

     We are using the notebook to show his notes. He has this one specific notebook where he keeps track of how many pills he's made, how many he has left, which types he has, and the "recipe" on how to make the different types of pills. He also keeps track of his patients and how many pills they have taken and the types and the dosages. 

     The lab coat will be used at the end of our two minute opening to show that Dr. Hank is a doctor, because before that the audience won't know. 

     The marbles are a big part of the plot, they are our main prop. During the opening, the audience will see him add a marble to a jar, but they won't know what it means, and throughout the movie they will see this as well, until it is shown that he adds a new marble to a jar with a certain patients name every time that he gives them more medicine, to keep track of it. 

     We will use the flasks to show him mixing things, like fluids to make gel pills. It will show him adding things to the flasks, and then mixing different substances together. 

     The pill making kit is also a very important prop. We will use it to show him making the pills, and setting everything up. The kit comes with many different tools, and they will all be set up on his table, they will be set up in order and very neatly, which will put emphasis on his OCPD (obsessive-compulsive personality disorder). 

     The mason jars will be used to represent the patients that he is making and keeping sick. Each jar is a patient, and will have a tag with the patients name, and every time he gives them more medicine he will add a marble to their jar.
