Props List

In relation to our genre we need to make sure we have the appropriate props to fit in to the scenes and make it seem as if it is the artist environment, these will consist of props with a vintage or retro feel. Additionally we need to incorporate the main props that can link into the lyrics and narrative of our Music Video, therefore putting an image to the words to make it clearer to the audience.

The props that we will need relating to our narrative...
+ A lounger or bed in which the Artist can lay on.. "So I'll Lie Here"
+ A pillow.. "With your eyes closed, and me as your Pillow"
+ Bed Sheets and accessories.. "I know i've found contentment in these sheets"


Other props...

+ Acoustic Guitar... This is one of the main props that will appear more than once. This will feature as an important piece due to the guitar being a typical convention to indie acoustic genre, and will additionally help the narrator and artist be identified by the audience. This will act as the narrator's master shot which will include shots of him and the acoustic guitar in various different locations.

-Here is an image of Ben Howard with an acoustic guitar








+ Bench... We will need to use a bench near the end of the video to add a climax to the storyline; the artist will see his lover (the one he has been singing about) and see she has moved on. This bench and scene will symbolise the end of the relationship.

+ Bag... For the female scene's a handbag will be an obvious and reoccurring item in the music video, this is as it is an everyday item, and will show the age of the girl. This will represent her as an everyday female.

We also had an idea of the male carrying a male bag in some scenes as this will add to the male carrying his own 'weight' and troubles now he is no longer with her.


+ Sofa... In addition to the bed we needed a place in which the artist and his lover could be together, indoors to show the warmth and comfort of their old relationship. We will then contrast this to the male being alone.

+ Stereo Player for the opening scene...

+ Clock
+ Photo Table
+ Coffee
+ Leaves
+ Swings
+ Photo Booth/ Photos

Lyrics Analysis

The Artist will be the omnipotent Narrative.

I'll Lie Here Lyrics

'I’ll lie here' Mike Dignam

You can rest your head upon my chest
I feel warmer with you there
Go to sleep my love I’ll watch over us
Drift to a peaceful place there’s no rush for you to wake

With your eyes closed and me as your pillow
It feels as though you were made to fit with me

Through your gentle breath I exhale my stress
I know I’ve found contentment in these sheets

You’re the escape from my daily routine
The calm in my storm you comfort me

So I’ll lie here
So I’ll lie here

If I could describe this moment
A unique feeling knowing
Although my hearts been broken
Wounds from others are closing

You whisper my name when you begin to wake
It’s the sweetest sound, reminding me that

You’re the escape from my daily routine
The calm in my storm you comfort me

So I’ll lie here
I’ll lie here

If could change the weather I’d make it rain
So we could take shelter in this place,

Feeling your heartbeat is all I need

You’re the escape from my daily routine
The calm in my storm you comfort me
You’re the escape from my daily routine
The calm in my storm you comfort me

So I’ll lie here
I’ll lie here
I’ll lie here
I’ll lie here

With you
