The shoot - props

We kept props to a minimum to keep the video looking realistic in relation to the location it is set. We used the following props:

• A deck of cards - used in early scenes to give Tyler's character a motive to go to the kitchen (following the game of Ring of Fire we set up).

• Bottles and cans - used to make the set look more authentic to that of a party and to provide a basis to film cutaways.

• Glasses - Filled and got gradually drank as scenes went on to give a sense of time frame and activity in the video. It shows that when the performance scenes are on screen, the party in the sitting room is going on at the same time.

• Larger bottles - Again, they serve the same purpose as the glasses, but they are also held by the characters in some scenes to give a focal point in the frame during the narrative scenes.

• The iPod and dock - Used in the first scene of the video and tells the audience that all of the events of the video happen within the few minutes that the song takes to play through.

• The instruments (drums,guitar and microphone) - They make the video look more authentic and allowed us to follow the conventions of the indie genre in terms of band shots easily.
