rekvisiittataulukko

A rekvisiittataulukko is a Finnish term that translates to "prop table" or "property list" in English. In the context of theater, film, and other performance arts, it refers to a detailed inventory of all the props required for a specific production. This table serves as a crucial organizational tool for the props department, ensuring that every item needed for the stage or screen is accounted for, sourced, and managed.

The rekvisiittataulukko typically includes information such as the name of the prop, its description, where it appears in the script (scene number, act), who uses it, whether it needs to be purchased, rented, built, or is already available in stock, and its condition. It may also note specific requirements for the prop, such as special effects or if it needs to be a certain size or color.

Creating and maintaining an accurate rekvisiittataulukko is essential for the smooth execution of a production. It helps prevent last-minute rushes, ensures continuity, and facilitates efficient communication between the props master, set designers, directors, and actors. For larger productions, this document can become quite extensive, detailing hundreds, if not thousands, of individual items. It is a practical and indispensable document for anyone involved in the physical elements of a performance.
