Iconography within planning.

List of our props.

Car - Ford Fiesta/Sliver

This prop is a car and will belong to the protagonist in our narrative. This is a popular car within our target audience as it is a new model and is considered to be cool. It is one of a limited choice of cars for us, out of the choice we had available to us we felt that this was the most appropriate model for our audience. It conforms to the dance conventions in terms of cars as it is a new model and cars in the dance genre are always new fancy models to convey a famous and rich lifestyle.

Money - Cash

This prop is money in the form of bank notes and will be used to show our protagonist as a success at the end of the narrative. We have chosen this as it is an iconic symbol and will represent wealth and success. This conforms to the conventions of the genre of dance as it is all based around wealth and connoting a rich and famous lifestyle. It is going to be used as a way to show the protagonists journey in making a success of himself.  


Suit Jacket / Leather Bomber Jacket

This grey suit jacket will be used as a symbol in our video as our artist will wear it as a visual metaphor to show our artist becoming successful  as a suit jacket represents success and wealth. We chose a grey jacket over a black one as we felt a black jacket carried to many negative connotations such as death. This will be replacing a black leather jacket which is warn to show our artist as a thug like character as leather and bomber jackets are a classic item of clothing within the criminal community.  

Jewelry/Bracelet

We used a bracelet as they are often associated with wealth and are seen as being very expensive which   is good as our artist is stealing it to become wealthier. This will contribute to the transformation of our artist.




Alcohol - Bottles


We are using alcohol in our video as there will be a scene replicating a party in which there will be people drinking alcohol.  This props is common within the dance genre as it is connoting a party lifestyle in which people are in euphoria, dancing and having fun. We have decided on ordinary bottles of beer and vodka as these are the most common and believable types of alcohol to use.
