PROPS AND CLOTHING

PROPS

• The fact that my music video consists almost entirely of close ups of the performers, props are scarce.

• However, after finishing editing my video I felt that I needed to add more to it, therefore I took a camera home and filmed a persons foot tapping to the beat of the song. Therefore I needed a persons shoe or trainer.

CLOTHING

• These were the only props that I had to consider when filming my music video.

• The genre of the music video dictated which and what style of clothing my performers would wear.

• The Indie style genre meant that the clothes had to compliment this genre, so I got my performers to wear Indie style clothing when filming them.

CLOTHING

• For example:I got one of my performer to wear a checked shirt so that they would look as if they were part of the Indie ‘scene’. Also a Barbour jacket is worn frequently by this group of people so was essential for my performer to wear it.

CLOTHING• The style of shoe was very important as I featured several close ups of it throughout.

Vans are typically worn by the Indie genre but so are boots so I was indecisive about which to use, so I asked friends and teachers and used Vans as it was of popular opinion.
