Task 9- Casting: props

Props needed for the music video include a video game for the opening scenes where the boy will play it, plus props such as drink cans and cigarette butts to make the house look unappealing.  Not many props are needed for the music video I am creating, it’s a main focus on the girl and the location she is in.

The location of the music video was mainly focused in a garden therefore many flowers were used as a prop throughout the music video. Many Scenes involved close ups and zoom out on the flowers. The props of flowers helped portray the theme of contrasting worlds of the dark bedroom to the light floral garden.

During the scenes where the boy plays his video game many cans can be seen on the bed. These props were used to portray a messy undesirable bedroom. The image above shows the character to be holding one of the props whilst singing. She also fiddles with it in other scenes to show her feeling insecure as well as boredom of just watching her boyfriend play video games.
