The document outlines props that will be used in a music video including smoke bombs, printed lyrics, flowers, red paint, a teddy bear, and a hiking rucksack. Smoke bombs and flowers will be used in outdoor scenes with the protagonist and will require multiple items due to taking multiple takes. Printed lyrics and a teddy bear only require a single prop for indoor studio scenes. Red paint and a hiking rucksack will each be used in a single scene with the protagonist. The props are chosen because they relate to and enhance the meaning and story being conveyed through the music and lyrics.

1. PROPS TO BE USED
By Ben Anderson

2. SMOKE BOMBS
Smoke bombs will be used in my music video where I have the protagonist walking
through the trees with a white smoke bomb placed in front blowing smoke across.
The requirements is that I will have to buy a few of these due to them only lasting
around 1 minute each time allowing me to take more than one shot of this scene.
I am going to use smoke bombs in my music video because it adds to the mystery of
the protagonist and also links into the lyrics when it says “you can’t hide” as we will be
able to see through the smoke.

3. PRINTED LYRICS
Printed lyrics will be used in my music video where the protagonist is walking past
them with them placed to the side so the audience is able to read them.These will be
printed on card to allow for them to be placed in the desired environment.
I will only need one set of these as they will be fixed in placed. I am going to used
hiking rucksack because it shows that the protagonist is on a journey and when
related to the song it’s a journey of emotion that is visually accessible to the audience.

4. FLOWERS
Flowers(a variety of rose) will be used in my music video where I have the protagonist
standing on a bridge with them dropping chopped flowers into a flowing stream.
The requirements is that I will have to buy a few of these due to the scene being
required to be film using a series of takes to ensure that it comes out how I want for
the best possible effect in the music video.
I am going to use flowers in my music video because it adds to the emotional
distraught of the protagonist providing a symbolic message for the audience to
interpret. Also the idea of nature and the surrounding area is a common theme that
runs through the genre of indie folk.

5. PAINT
Red paint will be used in my music video where I have the protagonist placed in the
photoshoot studio with the red paint running down one side of their face.
I won’t require a lot of paint here due to a drop only being used in the scene. I am
going to use the red paint in my music video because it provides a visual aid to the
audience on the meaning of the lyrics in the song as well as being able to provide a
conceptual perspective.

6. TEDDY BEAR
A teddy bear (more specifically a brown build-a-bear) will be used in my music video
where I have the protagonist standing in the photoshoot studio holding the teddy
bear. I will only need one of these stuffed bears for the shooting of this scene.
I am going to use a stuffed teddy bear in my music video because it adds to the
emotional connection with the song and of the protagonist.

7. RUCKSACK
A hiking rucksack will be used in my music video where I have the protagonist walking
through the forest with him wearing the rucksack.
The requirement for this scene is that I will only require one hiking rucksack most
likely to be a 65 litre sized one.
I am going to use this rucksack in my music video because it will add to the meaning
of the song.
