The document discusses costume and prop choices for characters in a music video. For the 10-year-old girl, girly outfits appropriate for the autumn season were selected. For the man, dark, dull colored outdoor clothes were chosen to convey themes of loss, isolation, and death. A watch was selected as a prop to symbolize time and flashbacks. For the performance section, the man's outfit of jeans, checkered shirt, hat, and watch will create contrast through brighter colors. Props like a guitar, stool, polaroids, tea lights, and camera will be incorporated into different sections of the video.

1. COSTUME & PROPS

2. Narrative Section: Girl

3.  The girl in our video will be around ten years old,
therefore, the clothing would have to be
appropriate for her age.
 As we are filming outside, I have chosen to
include similar coats, hats and scarves that the
girl will wear. The fact we are filming outside will
reflect our chosen genre as it connotes realism.
 I have chosen fairly girly outfits as it connotes:
fun, innocence and a girly feel.
 It is also Autumn, so I have chosen to incorporate
clothes that will fit in with the season and the style
of our music video.

4. Narrative Section: Man

5.  I have also chosen outdoor clothes for the man in our
video as the majority of the filming will be done
outside.
 I have chosen for the clothing to be fairly dark and dull
colours. This is because the colours connote loss,
death and isolation, which is the theme of our video.
 We have chosen to ask other people to star in the
video as it will be easier to direct them so that our
concept can come across more clearly.
 I thought a watch would be a good idea for an
accessory because it symbolises time and our video
will feature flashbacks of the past.

6. Performative Section: Man

7.  To find a suitable outfit for the performative
section, I researched similar artist’s to our chosen
genre.
 I found that people, such as: Ed Sheeran, wore
casual clothes in the performance section of the
music video. They seem to wear commonly wear
shirts and incorporate a hat or accessory of some
kind.
 For our video, I have chosen jeans, a check
shirt, hat and a watch. The colours of these
clothes will be brighter in order to create a
juxtaposition.

8. Props

9.  Guitar – the guitar will be featured in the performance
section of the music video whilst the artist is performing.
 Stool – the bar stool will be used for the artist to sit on
whilst he is singing in the performance section.
 Polaroid's – will be used in the flashbacks, for the ‘Dad’
to look at and focus on the memories. It will feature
pictures of his family.
 Tea Lights – will be used in the performative section for
lighting purposes. It will make the performance seem
more intimate which is a common feature of that genre.
 Camera – will be used in the same way as the
Polaroid's.
