Thinking about Props

As well as casting and location, I will need to know what props I will need for my music video. There are not many specific props I will need, as most come in the location already such as outdoor features (lampposts, trees, pavement etc) and indoor features (such as furniture) where the Mise-en-Scene is already set up. However there are some props which will need to be provided seperately.

- Instruments for the 'band performance' sections of my video. These will need to be asked permission for from the music faculty at school.

- Jewellery for the female actor. This will consist of a ring and simple necklace either gold or silver.

- A digital clock

- A mobile phone

- A note

- Keys

- Food and Drink. This will be for the scene of the couple on the sofa together. E.g. popcorn and drinks.

- Jacket/Coat. Although this is part of the girls costume, it will be taken off and placed as part of the Mise-en-Scene in one scene.

- Wall clock. May already be part of the furniture in the house, however if not one may need to be placed or a substitute prop used.

- A watch for the main male character.

Most of these props will already be available, however a small budget will be needed for items such as the food and drink.

As I continue planning, more props may come up that I feel I need for my video, however this list is props based upon my idea so far and the storyboards.
