List of Props, Costumes & Locations

This is my studio outfit a Topshop flowing lace cream top and black skirt. With a Metropark USA gunmetal angular necklace and red ring. The accessories are the only thing not following the colour scheme, just to give it a small quirky difference.
Ben is wearing an All-Saints blazer and a 'French Kissing' t-shirt. With Topman jeans and All-Saints bracelets. Once again minimal accesories just to give the outfit a pop whilst adding sophistication and simplicity.
The outside costumes were much different to the inside shoot. Ben and I both have different styled hair and the outfits are a lot more relaxed. As this part was the narrative we decided to make it more 'street wise' when it came to the outfits, things that anyone could wear down the street, for relatability. It's more casual but with a classy edge. Bens faux studded leather jacket and Allsaints scarf and t-shirt from LONG. Myself with a Topshop coat/blazer and skirt and blouse from ASOS.
We had minimal amount of props not many were needed for our narrative. The camera is a very important aspect of our video. It represents being followed and judged from the outside world. At one point it is faded into the studio shot to show the relation of the character being watched.
The box also has important relevance of the video. After being chased through the forest, the box I find represents purity and enlightenment in a sense. Finding a place you can feel safe in and un-judged. Which relates to the lyrics; 'Shining when I'm alone'.

These are a few shots of the outside location that we filmed at. It has a very warm autumn like feel to it. We tried to go as deep into the trees as we could making it a seem more frightening for me when I'm being chased . But doing it during the day also gives the portrayal of every day life; Wanting to escape the day to day struggles.
