Planning: Costume

It is very important that I take the costumes quite seriously because I want to be giving the audience a good impression of the story that is going on and what  the characters are like so the audience get a good knowledge of whats going on in the music video. The genre of my chosen song is Indie Rock and therefore the costumes I have chosen relate well and Imagine Dragons tend to wear dark clothing therefore I have gone with the dark clothing. The target audience will also think that the costume choice is good because they will be able to see that I have taken the dark clothing into consideration, the target audience also wear similar clothes to what I have chosen to wear as well which is also another good reason for my choice of clothing for all of the actors. The choice of costume suit the actors and represents them in a particular way meaning that the audience will be able to get an impression of the roles of the characters that they are playing.

Costume 1 - Main Singer

The first costume I will have for my actor is going to be a plain smart black shirt, this is because I want him to look smart so the audience get a good impression of main actor. I will also make sure that the actor will be wearing black jeans and a watch in order to make him look good for his role, the costume is not going to cost a lot of money as well which is a good thing because I wont be hesitating to buy them a lot and he has some of  the clothing items as well which is a huge advantage to me.


Below are the clothing items that I have found and are what  I would like the main singer to wear. The total cost of these items would be no more than £35 because he has some of the items of clothing anyway which is good.

 




Costume 2 - Friendly Actor

For this actor, I would like him to be dressed casual so the audience see him as a normal person. This is the actor that the main singer doesnt know but then they have a good friendship meaning that the audience will like this character, the clothing items that i have selected for this actor will not cost a lot of money and the actor owns some of these clothes just like the first costume making it an advantage to me because I dont have to spend a lot of money on clothes.

 





Costume 3 - Bully(s)
The 3rd costume is going to be the Bully(s). I will have them dressed in a negative way to show the audience what they are going to be like so that they will be able to make out that he is a bad guy, the clothes that I will have him wear will not be a lot of money and just like the other 2 costumes, I and some of the actors own the clothes as well making it good for me because I will not be spending a lot of money on clothes that I will not wear. The actor will wear a black hoody, black jeans and a snood in order to help cover up his identity.
