Props and Costume

Props:

• Glasses (with tea bags and water to create an alcohol looking substance) 
• Beer Can's 
• Tissue's 
• Mobile Phones 

The glasses with the tea bags and water create a murky liquid substance which like resembles alcohol and we will use these in multiple shots to imply that large sums of alcohol is being consumed as each shot will contain different amounts of liquid in each glass and having the Beer can's in them as well further implies the alcohol consumption representing large amounts of it. At the beginning of the music video Our main actor playing 'Eminem' and his 'Girlfriend' will be using their phones at the beginning talking and again towards the end but this time arguing and its during the chorus. The phone's being used at the start implies a new conversation and things to come and then using the phone again during the chorus is implying her to him that he has 'one shot' and is him realizing he has done wrong. The tissue is used implying she is crying and upset over everything that has adding emotion to the music video.

Costume: 

Our costume idea for our main actor was to wear typical track suit clothing such as a grey hoodie and black track suit bottoms as Eminem in 'Loose Yourself' wear's normal tracksuits which is typical for rap genre music genres except he doesn't wear "Bling" which rappers are most known for which subverts typical music videos so to make it some what similar to Eminem and also him not being all covered in jewelry the focus is dominantly on him but the story. 

Our costume for the 'Girlfriend' was simple coat with black jeans and brown boots and the coat is being there as she is outside for most the music video. Giving the 'Girlfriend' these cloths doesn't sexualize  her in any way which is also subversive of rap music videos as the sexualization of woman is very common of the genre's music video and doing this allows the audience to focus more on the story rather than her.
