Props

The list of props we need is quite short but they all play an important role in the music video.
  1. cyanide tablet-The cyanide is a key part of the music video as the title of the song is Cyanide. The lyrics tell of a jealous female who poisons her lover in a revenge killing. There is a close-up shot of the female putting the tablet into the males' drink. However we are not going to be able to use real cyanide as it is a toxic drug which will cause death to whoever drinks it. We have decided to use a dissolvable pill that will most likely be a paracetomal tablet which will  have no effects on the consumer. This is readily available at any pharmacy.
  2. Pint glass-A close-up shot in our video shows the cyanide tablet being put into a pint glass of beer. I have a pint glass at home.
  3. Two wine glasses-These will be needed for the romantic scene in the restaurant where the couple will be drinking wine. I have these at home.
  4. Table and chairs-These will be on location in the pub where the scene will be filmed in which the couple are going to have their romantic meal. The table will be dressed with table cloth, cutlery and candles to create the intimate and romantic atmosphere.
  5. Disco ball and lights-These will be needed to create a realistic party setting in which one of our scenes takes place, which will be a key point in the narrative for our music video. We have been able to locate an individual with a disco ball and lights that he is willing to lend us.

All of these items are quite easy to obtain. The dissolvable pill will either be bought at a pharmacy .
I already own a pint glass which we are going to use, however the bar/restaurant that we are going to use will already have them readily available. This is the same as the wine glasses and the table and the chairs.
The disco ball is owned by a friend of Joe's who is very willing to let us use it.
