Prop List

Sparklers
These will be easy to access in the Autumnal months due to Halloween and bonfire night and should be relatively cheap. However, we may need to get a couple packs as they do not stay lit long and we will need to take a variety of shots.

Dead Flowers

We may have a shot of the flowers alive earlier in the music video, but they will mainly be featured in the last scene as a pull focus will reveal them to represent the death of beauty and innocence due to the violence depicted within the video. We will be able to buy a bunch in any local store and they should not cost too much, depending on where we get them from. 

Fake drugs (tic-tacs)
We can buy these easily in local stores and we will only need one box for our character to seemingly have an overdose.



Large bag and clothes
These will be things we own as not much attention is needed as they will be crammed quickly into the bag. It would also be pointless to buy new t-shirts and jeans just for this shot.

Picture in frame
The picture will feature the couple looking happy and comfortable and will be taken before hand.  The frame will have to be cheap as we plan to throw it at a wall and we do not want to break an expensive frame.  We may also need to buy more than one frame in case the shot does not look right on the first try.

Pearl necklace
The pearl necklace will need to be cheap as we plan on it being ripped from the protagonists throat and we do not want to damage any expensive jewelry.  However, it will need to look authentic as we want to show a sense of loss and make the action seem extreme.  Like the frame, we will need more than one necklace in case the first shot does not properly capture the action.
