The main prop of the music video is the car. We used it as a prop for many reasons. Firstly, the reason why we used the car was because the car acts as a symbol to support Andrew Goodwin's music video theory of "Lyrics and visuals". The lyrics All I wanna do is drive home to you baby is referencing to the protagonist, being desperate to take his girl home with his car. However the guy could not due to his low standards of living and his current drunk state.
The second reason is that the car is a key symbol in trap and rap music for "street culture" and living the gangster lifestyle. Having a car was considered cool to have for artists and we can see many artists pose in front of cars in their music videos. But in this case, we were inspired to put in a car from Major Lazer's "Night Rider" ft Travis Scott, where the rapper (Travis) is seen positioned in front of the car most of the time during his scenes.
Oni 8's origins are from Asia, and in Asian street culture, when it comes to cars, the more neon lights there are in the car, the more lit it is to be posed with.
How we got the Car
In the music video, the car that is used as a prop is a white Mercedes Benz S-Class that we got from a friend outside of school. His car was the perfect fit because of how the brand of the car is considered a "High End" one, but also this car was customised with neon lights inside and outside of the car.
