Prop List and cast list

Trilbies
Sun glasses
dark Shirt
leather jacket
cigarette

These props are essential for the narrative side of the video as it what the antagonist and protagonist will be wearing. I think that these props are also essential to pull off an authentic film noir look.

Guitar
microphone
bass
drum kit
drum sticks

These props are to create a realistic band set up for the performance side of the video helping the band members to look like a real band and to also make them look like there actually playing.
Daniel Evans - Bassist ... We cast Danny for the part of Bass in the band because he can play to a good enough standard to mimic the song and also because his grungy look fitted into the overall effect of the band. Mike Davies - Vocals/guitar/Criminal ... As it was very hard to find someone to mime the song and still pull off a professional and convincing band attitude very well we auditioned various people to play the part however none of them could pull it off as well as mike. He is a good musician and a convincing actor which was a necessity as he is in both a band performance and acting part. Also his modern image is very up to date and works very well within the convention of our genre and music video. Otis Holmes - Drums ... We cast Otis for Drums as he could play to the standard which was required for the song and also he new the track well before we started rehearsing. Ahmad Majidiasl - Detective ... Ahmad was put into this role because he is a good convincing actor and can keep a very stern face all the way through the sometimes comical scenes of the narrative.
