Prop Research

When thinking of EDM, some images which came to mind were of clubbing, partying, and lights. These ideas enabled me to create a brain storm about specific props to consider using when creating an EDM music video.

Other props which can be considered:
- Alcohol
- Smoke machine for smoke
- Amplifiers
- Microphone
- Guitars, drums (if video is performance based)
- Drugs of some sort

The props that we will be using in our own music video are as follows:
- Drugs (Pills): As our story is about an individual who is going through abuse, it will ultimately lead to drug abuse. This will lead to strange impacts which will be explored through the use of the scribble effect.
- Powder Colour: As our narrative consists of a cinematic shot involving the use of powder colour, we will be using blue and yellow powder to create a cinematic effect.
- Skull Snood: To ensure that the transfer to the dark side is clear, we have decided to use a skull snood to show the darkness within. Fortunately, our actor already owns one so this will be very easily accessible.

- Leaving Note: To establish that our character is running away from home, we have decided to use a note which justifies his reason for leaving. This note had to be handwritten and come across as quite angry and aggressive. After looking into different fonts and styles, I decided to use the font MyChemicalRomance and I created and illustrated the note shown below. I have ensured the copy is quite thick and comes across as something written out of anger. However, it will also create enigma and mystery.
