When writing or storyboarding a scene I like to look at what the environment or characters can suggest in terms of props that are relevant to their established personalities or what the location might offer in terms of physical business, danger, interaction. See my video on Hitchcock's use of stairs for more on this.    • Hitchcock's Stairs
