Main Props in Music Video

Although we didn’t use many props in our music video, because it was more of a performance style film. I have taken one of the only props

from each dream/ stage of the video to show how it relates to the motifs of our music video, as well as the dreams themselves.

Cherry Red Mustang CarThe relevance of the car was a way of showing the audience that the girl wanted to escape. In her reality she stands at a bus stop looking miserable. She has to depend on other things such as buses to allow her to move freely. By having the car she is free to do what she wants, when she wants. It also implies the idea of becoming of age and having a first car. The main characters dreams show that she wants her own part of freedom.

Shell We are going to use the element of the shell as a light motif that appears throughout the narrative as another signifier that the protagonist is in her ‘dream’ state. Lauren will find the shell in her reality and uses it as a of transporting herself into her fantasies. It suggests that by finding this object, her imagination is able to come alive and come up with these dreams to allow her escape from her mundane reality.

Fairy Tale BookWe used the fairy tale book as another way of transporting Lauren into the dream. The use of Alice in Wonderland links to the magical dream she’s about to enter through the forest in Lauren’s dream, being her own ‘Wonderland’.
