For our music video we will be needing many props such as the following:
><
Some headphones and an Mp3. This is for the first few scenes where Faheem will be wearing some headphones while walking and these ultimately lead him to having an accident. This prop also is used at the end as it is left on Faheem's chest while he lies on the road these will be used as a sign telling Faheem how he had an accident due to them and also they are how the pupiteer was able to get to him.
><
We will also be needing a car and this is a key prop because we will be needing this prop for the first few and last few scenes in which Faheem get's hit by a car as part of the pupiteer's plan. This is one of the "tools" that the pupiteer uses in order to get his job done as mentioned in the chorus of the soundtrack.
><
As a group we also decided to have a pair of sunglasses and this is because we wanted some mystery around the pupiteer's overall image and this also gives the image of confidence, class, mystery and also is a recent convention in clothing items used by many artists e.g. Flo rida, Tinie Tempah etc.
We also decided to have a book as part of the music video when luqmaan is sitting on a bench as an old man reading a book. We decided this because again it is part of the lyrics "when i'm with a book just me and my mind." A further and last prop we will be needing is a mike for when the pupiteer is doing the chorus.
Costumes
All together there will be six costumes in total the main reason being Luqmaan will be dressed as a number of different people as part of our narrative and also Faheem will have two different costumes.
The first costume is what the pupiteer will be wearing throughout the music video. We chose this look because firstly the colours are very dark showing his darkside whilst at the same time his shirt is grey showing a mix of both black and white in this case representing good and bad. The blue sunglasses on his face however, represent his more human side and his youth. The blue also represents a fun more childish side to the pupiteer which we where trying to get accorss.
Overall, the dress of the pupiteer is very smart and this is so it is in keeping with the RnB genre of the soundtrack. Also this is because the pupiteer seems very modern and again young so this is to appeal to our young audiences whom also dress like this.
Faheem's regular costume is predominantly blue and this is to show off his youth and naivness. Also the red t-shirt underneath show's off his anger and evil side. This is because he is not a very nice character to begin with.
The next costume is what Faheem will be wearing once the pupiteer has taken control over his mind and this was chosen as it is still fashionable whilst at the same time conveying the message we wanted too. The colours are simply black and white and these colours carry numerous denotations to them. Firstly the black and white are supposed to symbolize being a prisoner almost in jail (prison uniform colours.) Also this black and white colour scheme is supposed to represent all of Faheem's characteristics being stripped away from him whilst he is in the pupiteer's world and this is also to amplify the pupiteer's overall control over Faheem.
In Luqmaan's first costume he is dressed in formal clothing which represents him being on his way to work and this was done as it is a regular day occurance that someone is speeding being late for work however, this is how the pupiteer is making it seem to the audience. This show's him as an everyday regular character who is later shown to also be being used by the pupiteer.
In the next scene Luqmaan is seen to be running past as a jogger and this is supposed to represent the earlier scene which took place at the beginning of the music video where Faheem runs into a nearby pedestrian.
Lastly Luqmaan is dressed as a middle aged man reading a book in the town centre where he encounters Faheem for the last time and this is done because we wanted to give off the image that Faheem is seeing the person who ran him over's face everywhere which is almost a surrogate aspect for the pupiteer.
Faheem.
