1. Key Props!
We will be using many different props in our music
video but this PowerPoint features the most iconic
ones.

2. The Ring
• The ring is a main symbol of her
relationship as she is engaged to
be married. The ring also
signifies the end of her
relationship when it is removed
and thrown.

3. Snow White Doll
• We decided to add in using the
doll as it links in with the song
lyrics ‘Snow white said when I
was young’ and links to the
whole fairytale idea which is the
main theme of the song.

4. Photograph (Ripped)
During the music video when Imogen is
at the dressing table she takes down a
photograph of her and her fiancée and
then later on in the video she takes this
photograph off of the fridge and rips it
up. This is key as this is what sparks the
final argument between them.

5. Smashed Wine Bottle
• The smashed wine bottle is significant of their relationship as it is
smashed during an argument and is cleared away when she is about to
leave him. It signifies the turning point in the relationship and the moving
on.

6. Wedding Magazines/Photos
• With these props its a constant ‘her reality vs. her fantasy’ the wedding
magazine and photos are key as they are her fantasy/dream.

7. Empty Glass
• Okay so not an important one but
probably my favourite! We had to set
the table up to make it look like Imogen
and her fiancée had just had dinner, we
created this by setting up the table with
plates etc. To make the wine glasses look
more believable I poured some
strawberry Ribena into them to make it
look like they had been drinking wine,
we done this also with the smashed
wine bottle on the floor.

8. To Me, You Are Perfect
These are the
plac-cards we
have chosen to
use from the
‘Love Actually –
To Me You Are
Perfect’ scene
for our
intertextual
reference to the
film.

9. To Me, You Are Perfect
As our chorus isn't that long we
decided to only take four plac-
cards from the original and add
on ‘Always’ in ‘& my wasted
heart will always love you’. As
these four were in our opinion
the most important plac cards
as they feature the main
message and humour. Our
audience will be able to
identify that it is from Love
Actually.
