PROPS

Props should be fairly easy to get and some of the cast will be able to provide their own such as: shades, jewellery and accessories.

WHY?:

• For the classroom scene, the use of technology is very important to convey the context of the music video. Paper and pens are obvious components which will act as part of the school mise-en-scene.
  
• I thought the cardboard sign is a good idea to be used to show the lyrics 'waving a sign'. In this scene the interpretation of the lyrics are literal, except it is not the 'sign' that the character wants to see. The use of a sign allows a clear representation of the character's misjudgement and creates a comic effect for the audience.
  
• Milshake/food will be needed during this scene so that it fits in with the setting of the scene which is at a cafe
  
• The laptop will be needed during this scene because Rose is seen looking at status' to do with love on a social networking site. This corresponds to the lyrics "Just once I'd like to feel the way that people say it feels, I heard that it's incredible, the ultimate right."
  
• The watch Kemi wears will be a symbolic prop, bringing the notion of time in the scene and reminding the audience that time is passing.
  The shades give Kemi an aspect of 'coolness' to her character, like Lady Gaga's glittery glasses, this can be used as a form of voyeurism, helping the character to pull off their own persona and attitude via their costume. Jewellery and accessories that will be used on the main character will give a similar effect.
