Prop Making

In Friday 27th November's lesson the group had the opportunity to begin making props for our music video. We painted the sign we needed for the speed dating scenes which read "Saucy Single's Speed Dating".The sign has connotations of the devil, who of course appears in the scene.

Props we need...

One member of the production team, Reena, created a list of items which the groups needed in order to make our characters and setting appear verisimilitude. These items would be classed as the Mise-En-Scene, which plays a large role in the representations portrayed. For example, the use of candles at our speed dating setting suggests a very romantic atmosphere. It will also add soft lighting to the characters making them look dream-like. Secondly, the black attire worn by the 'Punk' will reinforce his dull personality and ambiguity as his role is very reserved. The use of glasses, and braces worn as the Geek's attire conform to the stereotype of a geek, which emphasise his supposed nerdy personality. Finally, the mirror and comb that the 'Hunk' character brings with him reveals his self loving, self obsessed personality.
