COSTUME ANALYSIS

Of the boyfriend, girlfriend and band members

THE BOYFRIEND The way that the actor dresses in general is exactly how we wanted the actor to look in terms of style and general attire. The actor, Ed, usually dresses in black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, and chunky boots. He sometimes wears a leather jacket, and sometimes a baggy jumper or a flannel shirt over his white shirt. This style reflects the indie genre perfectly, and the way his different outfits work pull together our narrative and band shots well. We wanted this character to look very indie as then it is reflective of the genre of music video, so that there was a clear link between the music and the characters.

THE GIRLFRIENDThe girlfriend will be in clothes that are similar to that of the boyfriends, to show that they share similar interests, and she will be wearing comfy clothes to show that they have been together a long time as they are comfortable around each other. This is also quite easy to achieve as I own clothes similar to what we are trying to achieve. We want the girlfriend to look slightly out of place, so we know that they are interested in the same thing but she is quite mish matched in the way she dresses, as though she doesn't’t really follow certain styles etc.

EXTRAS/BAND MEMBERSFor the extras and band members they will also be wearing their normal day to day clothes, as like Ed, they all wear relatively indie clothes anyway. The lead singer, Laurence, regularly wears baggy grey tops with a small waistcoat with it, with skinny black jeans and pointy boots. This style is clearly heavily influenced by the indie fashion as is inspired by many different band members such as Mumford & Sons and Biffy Clyro. The Drummer, Alex also dresses quite indie too, wearing skinny jeans and baggy tshirts with cardigans.
