2. LAYER 1
Layer one is a 1 minute scene between the
members of the band walking up a street. This layer
is a scene without music or the lyrics in the song so
we don’t need to use any specific props for this
scene. Possible props would be a mobile phone for
one of the girls. This will be seen but not used in
the first layer of the music video. The prop that we
use is appropriate for our video as it relates to our
target audience (15-18) and is a typical prop in
videos with our genre. Other music videos that use
this prop are ‘Telephone’ by Lady Gaga , which also
appeals to our target audience as well.
3. LAYER 2
Layer two is a scene in an alleyway where the
girls dance and perform their song. In this layer
we have bicycles a prop. Whilst the girls
walk/sing down the alleyway the extras in the
video sit on the bicycles and interact with the
girls. This is typical of teens in our target
audience age range and it also sets the scene
and style of our video.
4. LAYER 3
Layer 3 is a hangout for teens. For this layer we
will only need a few chairs for our members to
hang out on as this scene is a natural scene
showing teens relaxing. The location again
relates to the lifestyle of teenagers in our target
group and also has some relation to the lyrics in
the song as they suggest ‘chilling out’ or
‘hanging out’.
5. LAYER 4
This scene requires the most props. We will
need to have lights, alcohol bottles and things
relating to alcoholic drinks such as lemons and
we will also need a CD player and some chairs.
This scene is a club scene of the teens entering
the club. This is a direct link to the lyrics and
theme of the song as it is about being in a club.
This layer mimics target audience experiences
as teenagers this age regularly attend
partiesclubs. In this layer we will use lights set
up in the location and also we will use handheld
lights such as glow sticks, torches etc..
This is to set the scene and mood of the music
video and to show the lyrics and visuals and
how they link.
6. LAYER 4
The basketball court layer is a performance
scene with the girls dancing and singing. We will
need extra’s to play basketball in the
background so our prop will be a basketball. This
is all that is needed for this layer because it is a
performance layer and the focus in on the girls
performing rather than the scenery.
7. LAYER 5
Or layer 5 shows a dance-off between a group of teens.
For this scene we need skateboarders in the background
which will require skateboards. Again because if the
focus of the layer we will not need many props. The
scenery also helps set the scene with graffiti and the
layout of the scene so the focus will be on that and the
dancing.
8. LAYER 6
Our finale layer if under a train station.
This layer requires no props.
9. • For our video we don not require many
props as it is mainly a performance video so
the focus is on the performers and the
music rather than certain props or
instruments.
