The inclusion of Fire in our Music video

We decided to set fire to certain props and film them to include them in our music video. The reason why we decided to set fire to our props is because we wanted to represent the destructive nature of fame, gambling and alcoholism. We did this by setting fire to a wine glass, setting fire to playing cards and poker chips. The fire was a feature that we knew would add a dynamic edge to our video if we constructed it properly, filmed it well and edited it effectively to ensure it has maximum impact and a clear meaning that is relatable to the viewers.

We went to the regal community centre because it was not in use at the time and we had access to it thanks to Ahsan. We chose to do the filming outside to prevent setting fire to anything indoors. We made sure that we wore gloves and eye protection to prevent any injuries. We also remained a safe distance from the flames to ensure that we didn't get any burns. The difficulties we encountered when attempting these shots was that we had troubles sometimes when we tried lighting the flame, it sometimes took a few tries to get the flame lit.
