Organising list

Here is a list of who is organising what: For costume, prop and make up that will need to be ready a few days before shoot day ie : Wednesday 18th November DEADLINE

Hair

Here are some simple hair styles that make our artist look edgy and interesting  that we might choose for our female artist to have through out our video|: I like the simplicity of these pictures but also how they have a slight bit of difference to them which adds an interesting factor which makes you as a member of the audience interested in the artist|:

For the male artist we have decided to go with a very up and coming hair style:Again i like the simplicity but also the way it will make the features of our male artist stand out in an interesting way which is exactly the look we are going for:

Make up

For the three  different sections of our video we want three different make up styles for the female artist:

WATER:

I like these make up styles because they are natural looking but they have heavier eyes that make certain features stand out and contrast to the very simple/plain make up for the woods setting below. The peacock colours also fit well with the water.

WOODS:

I like this simple an pure make up look to blend in with the natural surroundings of the woods as we don't want anything to heavy. I like the earthy colours used e.g brown eye shadow that brings out each girls eyes and is the same look we are going for. It is simple but beautiful.

For the UV theme:

I like the way the uv make up only makes certain features stand out for example the lips and eyelashes, it will also as previously mentioned be a good contrast to the two natural sets above (woods and water).





For the male artist we want something simple yet effective as he will have a blonde wig we want him to have white make up to e.g white mascara and white eyebrows, we feel this is edgy and is the look we are going for that will fit nicely with the female artist:

Costume- Male

For the male costume we are keeping it simple because he has quite full on hair and make up. We also want our male actor to look chic and smart to contrast with our females extravagant costume.
We want him to wear black straight cut trousers:

 These our plain and simple yet chic and have an edgy look swell that we will feel will look right with our male actors look.

This is a white undershirt because i november filming outside will be cold.  Again plain and simple.

 This is a loose cotton shirt. We feel it is relaxed and fashionable but will give the edgy slightly ragged look and will link well with the blond hair and make up. 

These plain black boots will complete the relaxed yet edgy look for the male and we are sticking to the colour theme of black and white because we feel that will work best with Esmes dress and the male make up/hair. 

Costume - Female

For our music video the costume is a huge part. We want it to be the main focus for the audience as it links all the sets together. Our original idea is for Esme to wear like a tight strapless slip on the bottom and then get lots of different materials and wrap them around her so she is submerged in fabric. We can then adapt these different materials and use them in the set for example with the fishing wire moving them around like she is underwater, tying them to the tops of branches in the woods. The extra fabric should have a ragged look rather then just white flawy material that we have all seen before. It should look different and interesting which will tie in to both of our sets well with an edgy theme. 

These are the sorts of materials that we want coming of our dress in these natural colours of beige,white,cream. However the strips need to be longer and thicker to be able to work with them on set but i like the way this skirt is structured.



 Here is another similar skirt with longer material which i prefer however it i to yellow/beige i would want more whites in the colour scheme otherwise i don't think it will work with a water set and in the woods, the colours would fit at all but again i like the structure of the skirt the materials just need to be a lot longer. 

I like the way this net material hangs and flows out ward and i think we could start with this on the bottom layer of our dress to make the other materials look thicker and puff out slightly.

 Although this dress is only made up of one fabric, i think its chic and elegant and maybe we should stick to only a few types instead of loads which could be to much. The flow of the dress fills the space really well which is what we want.

 This is Alexander Mcqueen a very famous dress designer and one of my personal favourites. I really like the way the fabric looks so thin but there are so many layers and it contrasts well to the tight dress shape. I think to get our dress looking like we want it to with all the layers but still flowy we need to build up the fabrics to create this thinking about which colours go where to get the best effect. 

 The way the girl is being submerged in fabric underwater is exactly the look we are trying to achieve which is what makes the dress so noticeable and such a main feature of the set. Even if it is only a few types of fabric to keep it relatively simple there has to be loads of it to achieve this look especially using the fishing wire in the studio we can do a lot with the dress to make her look underwater.

Props

As our music video is more about how the costume and set blend together and compliment each other we wanted everything else to be as simple as possible therefore we don't have any extra props. We have focused alot on costume and make up but the two props we do need will contribute to that.

A ladder:

This is to help us reach the height we need at the top of the trees to be able to tie the fabric from the dress to the tops of branches and for the water element to tie to different heights in the studio so that our artist and her dress fills the whole space.
















  Invisible Fishing Wire:                                             This is to tie to all sections of the material of the dress so that we can move her dress around behind the camera to exentuate it specifically to look like she is floating underwater.

Location : set SKETCHES

Here are our two set sketches of both locations featuring in our music video 1.The woods and 2.The water:
