The props used in the original music video of my song has helped me when thinking about the mis-en-scene for my video. The props are crucial not only because they set the scene onscreen, but they also could symbolise certain things, and connotate things for the audience. The theme of the song I have chosen is love/affection, with a modern twist. Having already discussed the colour scheme and what they connotate, I decided to look thoroughly at the props used in the video.
Here is a medium long shot of Kate Nash holding a giant daisy. This prop has been increased in size to stand out and has been emphasised delibratley. I think the daisy has been used to create the idea of the 'i love him, i love him not' scenario, as Kate starts picking off the petals of the daisy whilst singing the lyric 'Its so confusing understanding you, it's making me not want to do' The daisy could represent how the idea behind the song of not wanting to like someone, and confusion.
Throughout most of the video, Kate is carrying giant objects, emphasising the subject of love. One of the main props used are huge sweets, which ironically are giant love hearts with text saying 'Be Mine' and 'Kiss Me' These again are the main attraction of the shot, making the audience pay major attention to them I would like to think about this when shooting my video, as I want my props to stand out in shots and not just blend into the background.
