Props List

Balloons

We want a selection of gold balloons, as well as some transparent ones that we intend to fill with gold glitter. We’re going to film with the balloons in the studio, some will be filled with helium. The ones that aren’t filled with helium will be laying on the floor for us to walk through/lay in and the ones that are filled with helium will also be filled with glitter and we will pop them in one scene in our music video. The footage can then be edited to either be slowed down or reversed. The reason behind this idea is to represent their relationship being over (the popping) and the gold being released (relating to the good within her and the power she now has without him).

Glitter

Gold glitter will be used in a number of scenes throughout as an on going theme to go with the gold concept of the song. It’ll be in the balloons, be thrown, be blown and be falling between our fingers in a close up shot of our hands. The idea of glitter is to represent the song title.

Paint

We’re planning to have a shot that is a range of close ups of paint being thrown between Devyani and i, we’ll either do this through flicking the paint using a brush or if that isn’t prominent enough we will try and use water balloons in order to make more of an impact, especially if we decide to slow the footage down. This scene in the video reflects the meaning of the song which is the arguments between the singer and her ex-boyfriend by portraying it in a physical way.

Confetti

Similarly to the glitter, the gold confetti will be used to keep the theme of the song. The confetti will be mainly used in the field and the studio, for sprinkling over us or being thrown around. This footage, like the others will be slowed down in order to create more of an impact. 

Feathers

The feathers will be dipped in gold and will give a glamorous feeling to the video, in our questionnaire we saw that the majority of people associated gold with money and luxury therefore gold features will be use to convey this feedback. It is also to represent the relationship when it was at its best and as feathers float away it shows the relationship has done this too. 

Bath Bomb

We’re interested in filming a bath bomb exploding in water, we want to shoot this from both a high angle looking down on the water and also - if we can find one - we would like to use an underwater camera to capture the moment when the bomb hits the water and explodes. The bath bomb exploding will represent the lyrics of the ‘roof being on fire’ as that would result in the roof collapsing just like the bath bomb does when it hits warm water, it also relates to their relationship which is crumbling.

Fireworks

The fireworks are another relation to the lyrics ‘the roof was on fire’. We’ll shoot this scene in one of our gardens in order to get the perfect shot of the firework exploding, again we may choose to reverse or slo-mo this shot to go with the song itself and also because this is what our audience questionnaire results suggested.

Sparklers

With the sparklers we want to be able to spell out the word GOLD. To do this we’re going to change the setting on the camera so it captures each letter fully, this also links with the fire theme of the song and the gold themes and we feel will make a good ending to the video itself.
