Knife – This prop can be used by either the suspect or the murder of the film. However this prop allows for different camera angles to be used within the film to create and build tension. The camera angles that can be used close up to show the impact of the knife affecting the victim. An example of this in a film is John Wick: Chapter 2 which shows a knife scene within the film to show the kind of violence that happens between the characters.
