Equipment and Props

Equipment

Lights / Blue Lights

Green Screen

Camera + Tripod

The lighting I need for the music video is on the darker/colder side. Industrial lights / spotlights will help focus the light into a designated area making the surroundings darker which is what I depicted in the storyboard.

The green screen is for the vfx I want to implement into the video. I will require some heavily edited backgrounds for some scenes, an example being the edit where the spiders get introduced in the blue hallways in the storyboard.

Seeing that I might be both actor and cameraman, a tripod is going to be extremely useful for having stable shots and keeping the camera focused in specific angles. (I've been my own cameraman for a previous short film I made)

Props

Bed

Boxes

Black Veil/Cloth

Main Character's clothes

Door(s)

Fake Spiders

The easier props such as a bed and boxes are already in my possession or can be found with ease (cardboard boxes can be found from Amazon) and are not a problem for me. The only problem would be the door montage scenes where a hallway of doors would be useful but would require me to find a location for the shots.

Fake spiders can be used for the shadows that will be casted on the walls and the actor's face later in the music video.

Lastly clothing isn't an issue. A set of pyjamas for the man going to bed and either a change of clothes while the man is experiencing his nightmare or we keep him in pyjamas for the whole video. The nightmares will be using a black veil/cloth to cover the actor playing the nightmares.
