Fake Diploma Movie Props Set the Scene

One of the hardest things a filmmaker has to do when creating a movie is building character that the audience can relate to and be moved by. Often things like set props are used to enhance a character being placed by an actor or actress and help the story he’s trying to tell come alive.

In most cases when we think of props in film we think of guns in an action movie or a piano in a musical.  Yet a type of prop often overlooked is a diploma prop which has been used in a number of films and shows that you may not even be aware of.

When a diploma prop becomes the focus of a scene


Imagine this, your watching a tv show. It’s an old law drama called the "The Firm". At this very important moment, a scene takes place at the offices of the lead character, a struggling young lawyer just out of college. The camera pans around as the actor playing the lawyer sits down at his desk. There, in the background, we see a diploma on his wall. To many of us it’s just a piece of paper in a frame. Then all of a sudden, another character comments on his diploma from Toronto. He talks about how his brother went to the same school. Now the camera zooms in on the diploma prop that was made for this tv show and we see it at full focus.

From a distance the director could probably get by with just a piece of printed paper but when the audience to really look at the document, all of a sudden imperfections can be a problem and quality of the prop matters.
