Props Research

Pocket Watch:

We will be using a pocket watch in the Victorian Section of our music video. The police officer will have the pocket watch which will be stolen by the criminal to show that the main character is actually a criminal.

Cane:
The Victorian section may also have a cane. This will be used during dance sequences and adds elegance to the main character. As well as this he can tap the cane on the ground in time with one of the sounds that plays in the song.

 

Cigarette:

The main character in the Victorian section will be smoking a cigarette. However, rather than using an actual (modern day) cigarette, we will be using rolled-up post-it notes since none of us smoke, and it would look more authentic anyway.

Gun:

The 30s section of our music video will feature a gun that the main character is loading. This links to the Mob Boss/Gangster style that emerged around this time period.

Comb:

A flick comb will feature in the 1950s section of the music video. The comb looks like a flick knife when it is closed, so we can make it look as if the Greaser character is mugging someone. It will then be revealed that it is just a comb as the main character combs his hair.

Beer Can:

The character in the 1970s section will be shown drinking in public during the day, before throwing the empty can on the ground showing no respect for the neighborhood.
