THE PERFORMANCE:PROPS
We have chosen to make use of certain props in order to make our performance more realistic and effective.
Props:
- The ’Old-fashioned’ Microphone
- The Microphone Stand
These props are also essential for our ancillaries, as they provide another recognizable and distinct feature for our artist which will further establish our entire promotional package.
Reflective/Shiny surface, Silver
How will we obtain these items?
We will be able to obtain the microphone stand from the music department of The Windsor Boys School.
We have been given permission to use the stand for our filming.
We will be able to obtain the microphone off of Amazon.
The item looks professional and is also a fully functioning microphone.
Although this item is expensive, we want a prop that looks very professional, and we will be using this regularly and so we believe that the price is justifiable.
THE PERFORMANCE:
MAKE-UP
THE PERFORMANCE:MAKE-UP
We will be using little make-up for our performance, as we will use both video and photo editing softwares to remove any imperfections.
MAKE-UP:
- Concealer (Skin Colour)
For our ancillaries, we will be using the blemish and airbrush features of picmonkey in order to remove any other blemishes on the performer’s skin.
This will be used lightly to cover any pimples or skin marks.
How will we obtain the concealer?
We will be able to easily obtain the concealer off of amazon.
It is very affordable and will be eligible for a quick delivery.
