Props For Music Video

In our music video, I think we should feature some vintage props but also include some modern pieces as well as I think the vintage style will link to the genre of Indie and modern pieces will give the audience something to relate to. I walked around my house looking for any interesting and inspirational props that could link to our song choice or genre which we could use in our final music video and took photos of them.

Props relating to our music video:-
- A bed or something to lie on of some sort 'So I'll lie here'
- Bed sheets? 'I know I've found contentment in these sheets'
- Pillow 'With your eyes closed and me as your pillow'

Other Props:

One of the main props the group and I would definitely like to include in the music video is a guitar. This will feature throughout the music video as a signature piece as it will symbolise the genre of acoustic indie and help to identify the narrator to the audience. It will act as the narrator's master shot which we will include shots of him in various different scenes.

Looking at the females side of the music video, an obvious prop that will be used is a handbag or bag of some sort that the girl will carry around with her. This will feature in most scenes due to the reason that this is an every day item to the woman of that age of the character in our music video. It represents the character as being a stereotypical female.
The male actor will also carry a masculine bag in some scenes, perhaps when walking down the streets after the break up for example. This will help to symbolise that the male artist has to carry his own weight now he's not with her.

Another important prop that will be used is a bed or sofa, where the girl can rest her head upon his chest ('You can rest your head upon my chest'), this will be situated in a bedroom or indoors at least for the audience to picture this. It will be shown when the couple were together and when the male is lying by himself to represent a contrast between when they were together and apart.

We also intend to feature a bench near the end of the video as climax of the storyline when the artist will finally see that his past lover has moved on. So this prop is key to our narrative as it will symbolise the end of the relationship.

Minor Props:-
- Coffees
- Leaves
- Swings
- Jewellery
- Photo Booth/Photos

Other props found around the house that I think might be good to use as fillers or background props -modern/vintage/old:

- modern clocks showing time ticking on

 - retro cd players- character perhaps put a cd in at the beginning to kick off the song?

 -stylish sofas to represent modern feel to the audience -used as bed? lying down?








- table of photos, one could show one of the couple when they were together -reminiscing over good times -goes into motion.
