Props, costumes, settings

We finally did some filming that would be included in our first draft of a music video.

Here are some of the costumes that we will use:




















Note that my trousers do not seem to go with the rest of what I am wearing. This is because we do not intend to have my legs visible in the shots we were intending to film. Practicality recommended that I keep on what I had already.

It was decided that we needed at least one plain background for me to lipsync to, so the back of this room (the plain blue wall) would've done the job.


Note the toys on the floor and on the table. 
We considered the following things:


  • The upbeat nature of our song (despite what, at first, appear to be gloomy lyrics)
  • The lack of an archetypal music video budget
  • The need for a video that was sure to catch the eye of a new audience
    • The band were not very popular; thus the objective was to create something particularly eye-catching and not cliche
We thus decided to perhaps utilize some of the toys, and perhaps generate a simulacrum of how a stereotypical break-up would be presented. The eye-catching part though, would be that this simulacrum would be re-enacted with toys.
