We thought that decorating the bedroom scene with posters would add more of a vintage feel to the bedroom scene. We chose posters that were simple but if you looked at them you would notice the women are very pin-up style which is what we want our artist to look like. We chose to frame them with black paper to make it look like they are very well made and as if they suit the wallpaper which is pink and floral. We thought that using these would help to also evoke the 1950's vintage image, if it wasn't already obvious enough for our audience we really wanted to evoke the vintage atmosphere. We might tea stain these image so they look like they are genuine posters from that era which have been worn and just look like they have been through many years.

We are also going to use make-up on the vanity table which we can film shannon reflected in and we will also use them as close ups, we thought that quick cuts showing the makeup would set the scene before we see the full bedroom shot. We can use this as an establishing shot and gradually show more of the room. These items will be used in the performance shot which will give our artist something to use to do some naturalistic acting while lip syncing into the camera. We thought that using perfume and branded makeup items will give a gesture to product placement which is something that appears in lots of pop music videos. The 'Love' photo frame was specifically chosen for this video because we are dealing with issues to do with love and we thought that this would foreshadow what the artist is singing about in her lyrics. The casual scattering of these items will make it look like a normal girls room because its not all obsessively organised and not too much thought has gone into it.
