Locations, Props, Costumes

Locations

The music video will be shot in several locations, with the most important location being where the final scenes will be shot. With it being important that it is dark, with limited lighting and also being a quite dirty street or alleyway. This is because the darkness will represent how the main character has become the antagonist in the narrative and how evil has become more powerful than good in the film. I believe that the best location for this is Wellington Street because if the film was shot at night the lighting would be limited and make the representation clear, or if the film was edited in black and white would be able to make the effect more effective. Most of the indoor scenes will be shot at my house, with the scenes of the main character sat in the living room being shot with dim lighting to show how his character is darker within the narrative, whilst one of the actor’s houses will be used as the second indoor location for the film. The crash scene will be filmed on a quiet road, because it would be safest to film whilst no cars or other dangers are about.

Props

            The main prop used in the music video will be the picture frame; this is because it will signify why the main character is following the secondary character and seemingly appears to be plotting revenge. The picture will show the strong relationship which the man had with the woman before the accident. With it also representing how he is some what unwilling to let go of what he had. Another prop which will be needed is alcoholic drink, which will be used  by the main character in order to show how his lifestyle has deteriorated.

Costumes

            It is important for the main character to be wearing dark, or colourless clothing as it is a representation of evil. Which will show how the main character has a dark mentality in the video and how his life has become heavily based around getting revenge on the secondary character. Whilst the secondary character should wear brighter colour clothing to show how he is getting over the accident and how his life has seemingly continued. It would also be appropriate for the female character to be wearing a white coat, in order to represent how is she is pure, and innocent in the situation.
