Props

 The definition of a prop is considered to be anything movable or portable on a stage or a set, distinct from the actors, scenery, costumes, and electrical equipment.

Props are crucial in the story-telling. They complement and motivate the character, helping the actor feel more 'the part', setting the scene, identifying a particular time and place and cultural setting, sometimes even becoming a huge focus of the film. Some examples of well known props are the 'lightsaber' from the 'Star Wars' saga and the sheild from 'captain america.'
