Costume Ideas and Inspirations


Clothing
The clothing choices I have chosen are based on the research I carried out when analysing the mise-en-scene in three different indie rock music videos. My own knowledge helped me get inspirations as I am a fan of indie rock music therefore I hypothetically belong within my target audience. Indie rock clothing is usually seen as a bit edgy, quite unique yet it has recently conformed to high fashion clothing. A lot of the clothing for example, denim jackets, leather jackets, beanie hats and Vans are unisex clothing, however more specifically the tartan and lace skirts, dark skinny jeans,denim pinafore dress and the Doc Martens have been chosen for any female models used in my video. The costume choices I have made fit in well within my genre as I have seen either exact types of clothing or similar in previous music videos.

 
   Make-Up
 
The make-up I have chosen for my female models is quite dark but trendy. I decided that for eye make-up, winged eyeliner and a highlighted inner corner would be suited well as it has connotations as being unique which fits the genre stereotypes of indie rock. Next, I decided a dark lip would help continue the mysterious persona as it reinforces the edgy, rock style of the models. Finally, I decided that it would be effective for the protagonist in the music video to have red nail varnish on as there is a tracking close up shot of her putting on some fishnet tights; the colour red connotes lust and romance and will reinforce the story line.


Hair
The hair style choices are based on three different styles. A general 'messy' look emphasises the stereotypes of people belonging to a rock genre. The hair would match my mise-en-scene whether it is down and wavy, up in a high top knot bun with a slight messy effect, a fishtail plat or messy double plaits would be acceptable in my music video.
