Equipment, Props and Costumes

Equipment-

Canon 1100D Tripod

Props-

Flowers

I will be using a bouquet of flowers in my closing scene as we see my mine character prepare a noose connoting he can no longer deal with the grief however instead when the shot cuts to the front of my character instead of a noose the character pulls out a bouquet of flowers which he then places on the grave of his wife and son. This will connote he has come to terms with their death.

Carry Cot

The carry cot will be shown briefly within the music video and will make an appearance in the opening scenes in the back of the car. Although there will be no baby in the cot the scene will be shot to connote this so I don’t actually have to show a baby. This further adds to the idea that my main character is a family man who works 24/7 and provides for them.

Ford Fiesta (red) 2003

This car will be in the opening scenes of my music video and will be the respectable car of my main character and family. This will also the car they will “Crash” in. I have chosen this type of car as I think it really reflects the life the character lives, for example although my character has a managerial position he has started a family young with his poorly paid wife therefore a ford fiesta really reflects the amount this family can afford however I feel like the car connotes family man sort of feel.

Noose

I will be briefly using a noose like rope or most likely just a rope not yet in noose form to connote to the audience that my character has given up and cannot live without his family. This shows to the audience that even for my character to contemplate suicide the loss of his family meant everything to him. My character will retrieve this rope from this garage where it will already be set up.

Guitar and band equipment These musical instruments will be used by the buskers in the background of my scene. They will be lip syncing to the main song and my main character will walk straight past them maybe acknowledging them with payment or not.

Police poster

This is a poster I have created to make an appearance in my music video. This police poster will ask anyone if they know any information on the crash that has happened in the video previously. This will had authenticity and also add the effect that our character has been in this state for a while

Dress Code

No Dress code will be needed throughout the film opening, apart from casual clothing. This will help connote that my character is just a normal family man not one with a desire for designer clothes and accessories or the deposable income to do so.

Most likely T-shirt and jeans
