Costumes

Today myself and Louis discussed costumes for each of the characters, we hoped that through the costumes we could interpret the personalities of each of the characters and in some ways portray the story-line of each character simply by the colours of their clothing:

ARTIST:

white shirt

grey waist-coat

grey trousers

black boots/shoes

These are all neutral colours which we hope will show the artist as a story-tellers of the characters lives, though he will eventually become involved. There is also a link to what the Mumford & Sons main singer wore in some of their other music videos.

FEMALE CHARACTER:

thick cream cardigan/tunic-top

light blue jeans

brown boots/shoes

This outfit was chosen as it is normal and everyday, we hope that because of this the audience watching will be able to connect with the character. It will hopefully be easy to move in for some of the "running/dancing" sequences. The colours particularly are important as they must be light to show her innocence and how fragile she is, we hope this will allow the audience to pity and connect with her.

DANCER: (depending on choreography)

1. black leggings

black skirt (light and floaty)

black top

pumps

2. dark leggings

dark top

pumps

At this moment Louis and myself are unsure whether we will go for a very typical "dancing" look or and everyday casual theme. It does have to be easy to move in, and the clothing will not be "floppy" as we wish show the movement of the Dancer's body throughout the piece.

MALE CHARACTER:

dark jacket

dark shirt - smart

dark jeans

black shoes

By creating a "dark look" we hope the audience will see something sinister about this character. I hope for there to be a business like impression about him which will create him as a cold and calculated character. Though he is only in a few scenes he has to make a lasting impression so that the audience do not forget the narrative behind the music video.
