Props

Props is key in any music video. Props make a music video message more clearer and also helps present a certain tone to how the artist wants their music to be portrayed as. Therefore when choosing props I will need to carefully think what ones are best to decided how I want my music video to look.

One main prop that I have in mind to use is an old fashioned microphone. I have actually taken this idea from the actual music video that I am using as my song. The artist has an old fashioned microphone to make the scene of her singing more excited. When thinking more about the video, I thought it would be very boring to have just my model standing there miming. Therefore, I took the idea to use an old fashioned microphone as it gives more excitement to my music video. It also make it look more unique as it is a modern music video but with an retro prop.

Another Prop I will need is paint. For my idea I want paint to drip down the face of my model to represent the tears that are mentioned in the lyrics. I will need to make sure that this paint is suitable to use on my model and have to test this so it will work.

Along with the microphone I will also use sunglasses as a prop. This again will make the video more exciting rather than the model just standing there and singing. This could also make the setting of the video more fun as sunglasses are usually associated with holidays or festivals, therefore putting the model in a exciting setting.
