Props
- 1.
- 2. TV REMOTE Prop Description Iwill use a black TV remote for this music video. This prop will be used at the start of the music video in order to turn the TV on. This shot is used because the lyrics say “Put on the TV” so the use of this prop helps to portray the narrative. This prop will be used by Liam Hemmings to turn the TV on. This prop will only be seen once and this at the very start of the music video. This prop is used to accommodate the narrative and it also sets the scene of a living room. I shall use a Virgin TV remote as a lot of households have Virgin remotes so this will be relatable for a lot of the audience as they may own the same TV remote and this helps to make the music video more engaging.
- 3. MICROPHONE Prop Description A microphoneis used by a singer in order to project their voice around a room. The microphone will be black and shall be held up on a microphone stand. This prop will be used for the performance based shots when Liam is performing the song. This prop will be used by Liam Hemmings. This prop will be used quite frequently in my music video as there will be lots of shots of Liam performing the song live. This prop is important because it helps make the music video appear more realistic and it sets the scene as a live performance. The microphone used is modern as most artists use the types of microphones whereas in previous years, circular microphones were used by artists.
- 4. GUITAR Prop Description A blackelectric guitar will be used when the song is being performed. This prop will be used for the performance based scenes. Liam will use this prop as he is performing the song and will be playing the guitar for the performance of the song. This prop will be seen for all of the performance shots and it will be seen on camera around 10-15 times during the music video. This prop is important because it helps make the music video appear more realistic and it sets the scene as a live performance. A black guitar shall be used because this is the coloured guitar because black is a masculine colour and this helps to represent his gender. Furthermore, this song is quite dark and negative and this colour has connotations which create this mood.
- 5. HAIR WAX Prop Description Thisprop is used in order to style hair. The hair wax will be white and shall be in a small circular tub. This prop will be picked up by Liam and he will place the wax on his fingers and start to style his hair. This prop will be used by Liam Hemmings when he is getting ready to go out. This prop will only be seen once in the music video and this is when Liam is getting ready to go out. This prop is not very important, however it helps to set the scene that Liam is getting ready to go out. This hair wax will be V05 Hair Wax as this a trendy brand for hair wax as lots of people use it. I am using this brand of hair wax because it will be relatable for the audience and this helps to make the music video more engaging
- 6. BEER BOTTLE Prop Description Numerousbottles of Budweiser will be seen throughout this music video. This is because Budweiser is currently a very popular/trendy brand so this helps to make the music video more engaging if the audience can see one of their favourite beer brands. These beer bottles are brown with a red lid and label. This prop will be used throughout the party scene by a range of characters to show them drinking and enjoying themselves. Liam will mainly be seen drinking bottles of Budweiser as he is unhappy and trying to become very intoxicated however some extras in the music video will also be drinking them and this is relatable to teenagers as they will often consume a lot of alcohol at parties. This prop will be used throughout the music in order to help set the scene of a house party. Furthermore, because this is a popular brand I would imagine that my target audience drink this because my targeted demographic would be people who enjoy drinking and drink a lot.
- 7. BOTTLE OF VODKA PropDescription A bottle of vodka will be used in this music video and it will be fixed onto a wall with a fixed measurement on the lid. A fix measurement will be used to clearly highlight that he is drinking a double shot of vodka. The lyrics in the song for my music video say “He changes onto doubles so he doesn’t feel as sober”. Because of this, I will film a time lapse behind the bar at the Halifax Irish Centre of a double shot of vodka being poured. I will use this prop as I have access to this prop at work and the actors face is not shown in the music video so it does not matter which actor uses the prop. This prop will only be seen once in the music video. This prop is not very important however, it helps the narrative flow and reinforces the idea that Liam is drinking a lot of alcohol. This prop relates to my target audience because most of my target audience would probably drink spirits such as vodka on nights out. This brand of vodka (Smirnoff) is one of the most popular vodka brands so this will help to make the music video more relatable and engaging for my audience.
- 8. PLASTIC CUPS Prop Description Plasticred cups will be seen throughout the music video. This prop will be used by a variety of characters and they will be drinking alcohol from these cups. These cups will be used by all of the extras in the music video in order to help enforce the idea that this music video is set at a house party. Throughout the party scene these cups will be in the framing so these props will be seen in the majority of the music video. This prop helps to set the scene as a party because in real house parties these are quite common props at house party because they are a substitute for glasses as people tend to smash glasses when they are intoxicated so plastic cups help to make the music video more relatable to the audience and more relatable for a teenage audience.
