Prop IdeasLukatar

Overview Props I plan on using will help in me telling the story of my artist,

from the success to the press turning on her, to her battles with drugs and alcohol.

They will be slightly comical, to suit the over-dramatic, quirky tone of the video.

They will sometimes be conceptual as opposed to clearly linking to the story suiting the abstract side of my music video.

Many props will symbolize ideologies seen in rap music e.g. money to symbolize status.

Many will link to the lyrics, to make a lyrical music video as meaning within lyrics are extremely important in rap.

MoneyTo symbolise the success experienced by the

artist at the start of her career and all the money she is earning. She has so much money she doesn’t know what to do with it, that is why she turns to drugs and booze.

CDsTo represent her success and demand in music,

showing her status.

FoodThe lyrics state ‘I’d take girls for a little mars

bar, or a salad, I’m on a diet’These would represent the pressures to stay

slim by the press etc. also it would add to the comical effect of the artist not taking herself seriously.

Classical Music Instruments ‘Make some original music not covers’ It is an example of a criticism the press / social

media give her. Suggesting her music is unoriginal.

NewspaperArticles showing how her career is developing

and how the press are responding to her.

AlcoholWhen she turns into a party animal due to the

temptations of fame and her excess money.

SyringesWhen she is on drugs at the lowest point in her

career, symbolizing her deterioration to a ruined woman by the press and pressures of fame.
