Costume and Props


Within our music video, numerous props were included in order to give the different desired effects for the audience. Costume was just as essential to portray certain characters to the viewers.
The performer, was meant to be represented as an average person of society so that the viewers
would be able to relate to him. Likewise, the female performer was also meant to be perceived as a normal teenager.
A suitcase was used to enforce the idea of the girlfriend having possessions in there, making it look as though she was leaving for a long period of time. Originally we used an acoustic guitar whilst lip syncing, but then our final decision was to include a studio performance of the lip syncing, as we felt it emphasised the emotion of the performance more, and also an acoustic guitar is not really the main instrument in the song. It would have been more suitable for an electric guitar performance, but these scenes were not possible for us to film outside.
