PERFORMANCE:
PROPS
We have chosen to make use of certain
props in order to make our performance
more realistic and effective.
Props:
- The ’Old-fashioned’ Microphone

These props are also essential for our
ancillaries, as they provide another
recognizable and distinct feature for our
artist which will further establish our entire
promotional package.

We will be able to obtain the microphone stand from the
music department of The Windsor Boys School.
We have been given permission to use the stand for our
filming.
We will be able to obtain the
microphone off of Amazon.
The item looks professional
and is also a fully functioning
microphone.
Although this item is expensive, we want a prop that looks very professional, and we will be
using this regularly and so we believe that the price is justifiable.

PERFORMANCE:

We will be using little make-up for our
performance, as we will use both video and
photo editing softwares to remove any
imperfections.

blemish and airbrush features of picmonkey
in order to remove any other blemishes on
the performer’s skin.
This will be
used lightly to
cover any
pimples or skin
marks.

12. How will we obtain the concealer?
