**Costume and Props Plan

Costumes
I decided on the costume of simple black jeans and a white top for the piano scene as it’s simple but effective. It tones down the whole video from a slightly unrealistic representation of who the singer is to the girl whose heart has been broken. This again makes her more relatable as an artist to her audience. 
As well as this, the chosen colours could be a metaphor for her good and bad sides, the good with her on the piano and the bad with her vengefully burning the photograph.


For the other scenes for the narrative, I've decided on another natural look of a black top with denim jeans. I want this costume for similar reasons as the decision for the first costume; it makes her seem more real. Instead of the viewer’s seeing her as a superstar, they see her as a real person and can find her and her music more relatable. 

Props
The main props used in this video will be:
1.     Piano
2.     Photograph
3.     Lighter
The minimal use of props puts more of an emphasis on her and her music again. Instead of the song being about things, it’s about emotion and feelings. This is shown through the piano, normally quite an emotional instrument used to portray deep feelings, and the lighter which symbolises the end of their love.
