Props and costumes to be used within our music video plan:

List of props to be used:

  • Neon glow in the dark face paint-Ellis, Micky, Joby and Lucy.
  • Powder paint-to be used on objects and thrown at people, also to be shot on its own with black background.
  • Oil paint in water dish-to be filmed moving around in the water, close up shot so you aren't bale to see the glass dish only the oil paint moving in the water, this will then be edited to further add to the psychedelic element within the video.
  • Glass Vase-to be used by Sam, thrown on the floor, this can later be edited backwards and sped up.
  • Friendship scrapbook-to be used by Lizzie as she looks through old memories of her and Sam. In seeing this Sam instigates the argument with Lizzie.
  • Makeup-to be used by Sam, a variety of shots from different angles will be used and later edited.
  • Hair Brush-to be used by Sam in a similar way as the makeup shots.
  • Female clothing-to be used by Sam in a similar way as the makeup shots.
  • Cigarettes-to be used by Reg, a vital element to his couple narrative showing him to be an unsavoury character when compared to how Mia is represented.
  • Lighter-to be used by Reg along side the cigarettes.
  • Sunglasses-to be used by a few characters, referencing the indie life style they all live, a key element within most psychedelic music videos.
  • Phone-to be used by Callum a key prop to be used within his couple narrative showing his binary opposite 'technology'.
  • DS-also to be used by Callum a key prop to be used within his couple narrative showing his binary opposite 'technology'.
  • Healing crystals-to be used by Stevie a key prop in her couple narrative, to be used in opposite to Callum's devices, healing crystals and her setting (woodland) showing her binary opposite of 'humanity'.
  • Blindfold-one of the most important props within our music video will be the blindfold used by Ellie and Luke, the blindfold representing ignorance within their couple narrative, the prop will be worn by both characters before the end of the video.

Character costume:

  • Ellie: Basic and simple indie look. Jeans and a flowery top, the emphasis should not be on the outfit in this couple narrative but on the blindfold prop. Her hair will be curled and down. A minimal makeup look will be used to once again ensure all emphasis is placed onto the blindfold representing ignorance.
  • Luke: Also a basic and simple indie look. Jeans and a t-shirt, once again, the emphasis should not be on the outfit in this couple narrative but on the blindfold prop representing ignorance.
  • Reg: Reg will be depicted in all black in correspondence with his binary opposite, evil. His hair will be shown as messy and un kept. Black jeans, t-shirt, large coat and black boots.
  • Mia: In contrast Mia will be dressed in white and light colours, light blue jeans, a white top, white shoes and I light coloured jacket/coat. Her hair will be down and straight. Minimal to light makeup will be used to give the impression of innocence and youth.
  • Lizzie: Psychedelic indie trousers, a simple low cut top (our take on the male gaze) as Lizzie tries to attract Sam, but it is made clear throughout the video Sam is not interested in Lizzie, brightly coloured red jacket (indie).  
  • Sam: Sam's costume is vital to the couple narrative he belongs too, he will be wearing provocative female clothing. His hair straightened and down. The video will see him put on his makeup and transform himself in front of Lizzie which is what causes their argument.  
  • Callum: Basic yet effective and relevant look including jeans, gaming t-shirt, geeky glasses, dark coloured jacket and trainers. This links closely to Callum's binary opposite 'technology' showing the characters geeky and tech obsessed life within his day to day clothing.
  • Stevie: An overall indie inspired down to earth look. Wavy, striped and brightly coloured trousers, a brightly coloured t-shirt, a large coat and converse shoes. Her hair will be shown as half up half down and crimped. Her makeup will be finished to a high standard with outgoing features such as largely winged eyeliner and contrasting eye shadow colours to her outfit.
  • Lucy, Joby, Ellis and Micky: All four actors will be dressed in all black along side a black background with no lighting, they will be wearing neon glow in the dark face paint and so this is all that will be shown in the shot. By wearing all black it ensures no brightly coloured item will get caught in the shot.
