Costume List


Costume list

The idea for this

music video is that we are going to have the characters wearing rough cloths, this is because we went ti connote that they are living on the edge and that they do not care too much about their appearance, also we want it to be suggested that they spend all their money on other things rather than their cloths, this will suggest that they are the stereotypical junkie.

The clothes for the male Character (While he is a junkie)

As you can see from the selection of cloths that I have got pictured out for the male character, I have decided to go for a rather rough look, I believe that darker jeans will be more suitable to the product as the colour black connotes a more mysterious and dark character, and altough not necessary evil this character could be seen as heading down the wrong path in life, as he is taking drugs.

Male character after he has sorted himself out

For this I think it would be appropriate for the character to be wearing a suit suggests that he is successful and maybe a high ranking businessman. The suit in question wll be a classic black blazer black tie black shoes black trouser and white shirt, also if possible we need as much of the whit e shirt to show as possible, thi is because whit e connotes that he is good and because he has changed into this new better person the white shirt will symbolize that very change.

Female character:

The female character will be wearing very similar cloths to that of the male character when he is a junkie but the female character will be wearing cloths like this for the entirety of the product, the same reason as for the male character is why she will wear this, but as her character does not get better I believe that it will also be effective if her cloths act

ually got in a worse condition throughout the prodct, as this will be able to show her worsened state of confusion throughout the product.

  1. When we acftually filmed we did not use the suit idea, we just went with the causal teenage look of Hoddie trainers ect. Rather than rough clothd we also decided to have them in more casual clothing as it makes threm easier to relate to for the average teenager as they will then think, we are two such normal people living in such conditions.

  2. You should go into more detail here Alex. Your decisions should be based on ideas from existing products as well as the interpretations of the lyrics. You mention 'stereotypes' but could further this by giving (ideally showing) examples of these stereotypes.
