By Jack Sanders COSTUME AND PROPS

Firstly, for our main character we are using a white T-shirt. White is a colour often associated with innocence and purity, which can in turn be linked to a youthful target audience. Therefore we thought this colour would be most effective for your music video.

As well as this we believe that the white contrast to the darkness of the lighting throughout the majority of our video. In the video our main ‘BOY’ is going through a rough nights sleep. This is reflected by the characters body expression and movement as well as the lighting. So the fact that his shirt is white might offer a symbol of light/hope as the video gets better for him.

Secondly to accompany our actors white T-shirt we used black joggers. This is a style of clothing often associated with a chilled out and relaxed atmosphere. We feel that this will appeal to our teenage target audience as well as reflecting the fact he is trying to “chill out’ or sleep.

The black joggers contrast to the brightness of his white t-shirt, therefore putting further emphasis on the meaning of the white why he is wearing.

This is a style of clothing worn in every day life an will be relatable to our audience. He wears these joggers when he is asleep and when he is awake, showing the link between his dreams and reality.

Lastly for our main character, costume wise we used trainers.This is the most popular and therefore relatable style of shoe for our teenage target audience.

This is a very comfortable type of footwear and this may reflect that when he is wearing them in his dream he is at his most comfortable.

Due to the fact that his dreams are all point of view his feet are Seen often throughout the video. Therefore we had to consider a brand and style that would greatly appeal to our target audience.

The main prop we are going to use is a bed. The whole video alternates between our main character in a dream world and him in his bed, so it is a key part of the video.

This prop is a symbolic sign for sleep and therefore will have a significant effect on members of the audience.

We will also add a bed sheet to make it look as if our character is actually sleeping in his bed. A blanket is a connotation of comfort and we hope this will leave a lasting impression on our audience and make theme feel comfortable when watching the video.

Another prop we used will use 4 coffee cups, one for each of the 4 relevant characters within the scene. These are for the dream scenes to make it look as if the actors involved were actual paying customers in a coffee shop.

These cups cost 30p each and we will buy a total of 8 cups to last the duration of our filming.

The location itself represents a teenage meeting place and the cups simply help to re enforce this. This prop symbolizes

A third prop we are going to use is a piece of paper or maybe a napkin with a phone number written on it.

This is a typical, relatable way of how people often exchange phone numbers and members of our audience will be able to link this image to something they have seen before.

This prop is ultimately what changes our main boys fortunes within his dreams and therefore is important.
