Props.

We use a range of props in our video to make the video look more realistic and so it looks natural.
When we filmed in Sian's room, we pretended it was Fades room and we had all her make up, straighteners and accessories on her table to look like a typical girls room
we did this to emphasise that she was a girl and was very feminine, taking care of herself. perhaps trying to impress somebody and look more attractive. The music video and song is about thier friendship and how a relationship could have blossomed but did not and both of them are regretting it as they both liked each other. We emphasied the use of her make up on her table becaause it is known that when a girl likes a boy, she may take care of herself more and put on make up to emphasis her attractiveness to get the boys attention positively.

Ashley's mobile phone was one of our props 

We used the phone to show when Ashley was getting no messages, facebook notifications, emails etc to show his isolation and was feeling lonely, so we zoomed on this to show emphasis. This then suggests that we are really showing that his loneliness is a huge aspect of the video and it is something that is being focussed on.
