Props, Costume Locations and Equipment The Aim of my video project is to get the audience questioning and thinking more deeply about what they can see, this will be accomplished by using the correct conventions.

Props:

• I will be using a number of props to help create my video based on the three styles, narrative, performance and concept. The performance component of my project will consist of a band and will therefore have to include a number of props: Guitars (Base and electric), Keyboards, drums and microphones.

• The Narrative component will use a carpet, the key item where the lead singer will be introduced, reflecting the lyrics of ‘lying on a carpet’.

Costume

• The costume will reflect the lyrics and song title (Dead Man-Carry Me). Therefore the members of the band will all be wearing unified costumes consisting of Red shirts, white ties, black trousers and casual shoes. The lead singer however will be wearing black shirt, white tie, black trousers and black shoes. This reflects the song of someone who has died metaphorically, however the white ties represents the hope and life within the characters. This also helps identify the lead character. Each member will also wearing a white mask hiding their faces however the lead singer will not. This will cause the audience to think more deeply about the characters-why are they hiding behind the mask?

Locations/Setting;

• There are three key settings that I will be using for my project; wooded area, where the main character is established incorporating stop motion effects , a stage where the performance component takes place and a swimming pool. Again this will cause the audience to question why?

Equipment:

• I will be using an editing software known as Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11.0 to put together and edit my project. The camera I will be using is the Sony HDR-XR160E for high quality footage. To ensure steady filming I will also be using a tripod for most filming and shots. The last piece of equipment will be an underwater camera cover to ensure the camera stays dry during the swimming pool scene.
