Music Video Props

For props within my music video i have taken a thorough look into what clothes are worn in previous Arctic Monkey's videos and i have discovered from watching them that they are fairly similar.

Leather Jackets

Leather jackets were a must when I first decided to create an arctic monkeys video as I felt it for the genre well and my decision was further encouraged when watching 'Why'd you only call me when you're high?' Music video as the lead member of the band, Alex Turner, wears the jacket throughout and the song choice 'Do I Wanna Know?' Is such a similar song that I thought this choice of prop clothing was very suitable and the best and most appropriate choice for my main characters here.

Black Skinny Jeans

Black skinny jeans were a definite for the video aswell as I noticed that in other

Music Videos made jeans are very popularly worn and to keep up with the Arctic Monkeys style of black cool clothing I felt that black skinny jeans were the best choice. Jeans are worn in Arctic Monkeys videos including 'R U Mine' and again 'Why'd you only call me when you're high?' So I thought the best idea was to stick with their house style to suit the genre of the music choice. 

White T's

My choice of using white t-shirts is a choice I made for many reasons. I felt if I put black jackets on then to contrast white t-shirts should be worn as this style can relate to plenty of genres but as a main Rock and Indie bands which is what Arctic Monkeys could label under. I also thought to suit their style again as a second reason as this is the case in 'R U Mine?'. My final reason to wear white t-shirts would be that if I copy the shirt basically to what my main character is wearing then it would go along with the confusing natured storyline of the video and that if Alec is wearing similar clothes to the person he thinks is taking his girl then it will make him more delusional and he will come across as increasingly hallucinated.

Alec's Car!

This is going to be a main part of the video as Alec is going to be firstly taking the girl into this car whilst he does his drugs following onto actually driving after his girl towards the marina and also then this will mean I can pull of my dolly track shot by the side of the car whilst he mimes within it so this car I a very vital piece of my filming and final cut I will create.

iPhone

This prop will ultimately be the beginning and end of my video as this will be what Alec receives his call on from Maisey at the start when he is unsure whether to accept the call or not and it will also be at the end when he answers but it's not real and it's what his brain makes him think he should have done aswell as being the phone ringing at the end to bring him back to reality when the drugs wear off.
