1. MUSIC VIDEO
PROP LIST
CREATING OUR PROP LIST FOR THE
A2 MUSIC PROMO

2. For our music video we will use
headphones that have the logo of a
superhero in our performance element of
the video. This will then link to the
narrative of our music video, which
involve the bullied boy turning in to his
own superhero. He will also have logo’s of
other superhero’s on his books and bag
to link the two together.

3. The key in the video will have to
be larger than a normal key and
more extravagant. We want to do
this to draw the audiences
attention to the key, so that they
notice what the boy is doing and
creates more suspense of what
the key actually opens. It also
adds an element of mystery to
make the audience intrigued by
what it is going to reveal after he
pulls it from underneath his bed.
Ensuring the audience’s interest
is held is a key factor in any music
promo.

4. The silly string will be used
as a weapon, which helps
the boy defeat the bullies.
Whilst being a
weapon, this prop is also
comical and goes with the
style of the music video. It
makes the violence in the
video slightly lighter and
gets the audience to take it
less seriously. It is also a
childish product, which
highlights his youth and
childlike imagination of
which he creates his own
superhero.

5. The utility belt we
have taken from the
superhero batman.
This links batman
and our music video
character together
and it will be used to
store his weapons
that he uses to
defeat the bullies.
The concept of the
utility belt is well
known amongst
superhero fan fiction
so ties suitably to the
concept.

6. Books will be used to
emphasize the bullies
picking on the main
character. They also
represent a type of
escape, as does a
superhero. This symbolism
will link together our
narrative part of the music
video. Papers and folders
will also be thrown around
by the bullies.

7. DJ decks will be used for our
performance element of our
music video. We have cast
someone that knows how to
use them, so that it looks
believable. They will also be
wearing the superhero
headphones to link the
performance element to the
narrative of the music video.

8. Desks and chairs will
also be used to
emphasize the mise
en scene of the
classroom. It helps
sets the school
environment as well
as the type of ages of
the characters.

9. The main character will be wearing a backpack
with a superhero logo on it, this will link the
narrative and the performance together, as
the DJ headphones will also have a superhero
logo on them.

10. The boy will also have a superhero
watch to make him childlike but also
to adhere to the theme of superhero’s
for our music video.
