The main (and probably only) prop that my music video will feature is the guitar which my performer - Phil - will be playing. As Phil and I both play guitar and own several acoustics I need to decide which I prefer. (See below.)
The only other prop I may opt to use would be a bible as this will reinforce the religeous meanings and connotations of the lyrics.
Fairclough Mountain - My Guitar
I think this is the guitar that I am most likely to use as it is mine and therefore Phil does not have to worry about bringing his. Also the body style (jumbo) is one that is used a lot by rock artists and therefore fits into the genre of 'God and Satan'. Another think I like about this guitar is that it is very simplistic is design, such as using using small fretboard markers, which keeps the focus fully on the performer and their performance and not the instrument itself.
Tanglewood Dreadnought - Phil's Guitar
This is very similar to the guitar that Phil owns. This guitar is much more expensive that the one above and thus it has a lot more 'bells and whistles' features. I don't think I will use this guitar as it looks too fancy to suit the song and the rock genre. If Phil says that he would much prefer to play this as he is more used to it then I will reconsider my decision.
Other Guitars/Idea
Phil also owns a black-painted fender guitar which gave me the possible idea of having two different guitars - one white and one black - for each costume. As neither me or Phil own a white guitar however this would mean either buying another, which would be expensive. I do however own an old and unused Yamaha guitar in the same shape as Phil's black one. I may therefore re-paint my old guitar white and then use the two for individual costumes - though this may be tricky I think it would enhance the different costumes and the idea of separation.
