Props List

In order for our video to reach it full potential we need to use props such as:

• The camera – The camera is the most important prop as without it no recording will be done, obviously.

• The tripod – The tripod was a very piece of equipment, however it will only be useful for a couple scenes as most of the shooting is handheld. Therefore, it wasn’t as useful as it would be for shooting another music video or film.

• For male 1 protagonist, black hooded jumper, black baggy jeans, and black and white shoes, black and red hat – These items of clothing are very important as they represent the meaning behind the song. As you can see the clothing colours are all dark which resembles the darkness portrayed in the lyrics and in the video itself. Each item of clothing shows a different meaning behind it. For example the NBA fitted cap represents the new “swag” in the hip hop culture as well as the stereotypical black male look. The black hooded jumper is often related to crime such as robbery and muggings. This gives the artist a violent look. The use of baggy jeans has become a trend across all genres now but had originally started by the hip hop artists.

• Memory Card – Memory card was essential just in case of emergency. We will also be carrying an extra memory card just-in-case of full usage of memory capacity.

• Extension Lenses – These extra props are useful as it will allow us to use a wide range of camera techniques.

• Dogs – 1 American Bulldogs and 2 Staffordshire Dogs. We decided to include dogs in the background as it gives a more intimidating look towards the audience.
