Research & Planning: Props

Props

Props - In most music videos sometimes props are used to illustrate the narrative, and when linking the lyrics with visuals, props are commonly used. The props in a music video add to the entertainment side, and can be used in a fun imaginative way. One music video that uses props to make the video more entertaining is ‘Telephone – Lady Gaga ft Beyonce’. 

To make the props suitable to the genre whilst the prop links to the narrative and adds to the story it doesn't add to the entertainment. This is mainly because with the style of video it isn't meant for entertainment it's more just a story/narrative thats spoken through a video and the lyrics.

The props I need;

• A necklace -  
  

This is the sort of necklace I'm looking to get for my music video. The locket's meaning in the video is that her old love whom you presume she's moving on from gave it to her. She feels as though this is the last part of him that she's holding onto. The music video is her journey of removing the last of him from her life. After she is 'free' of him.
