COSTUME: FEMALEThe image of the girl in the narrative part of the music video will be dressed similar to the Indie subculture. The images above are examples of how the girl will be dressed. The first image is a girl in a short dress wearing Dr martin boots. I picked this image because this is common to the indie subculture. Although I want the female character to be dressed in an Indie subculture, I want the colours associated to be a girly one, colours such as pink to emphasis her feminine side. This is an outfit that the audience won’t aspire to because they can afford these items but this is an outfit that is common to this subculture so they will feel connected to the music video.From my questionnaire, when I asked ‘If you were able to dress in any brand what would it be, Dr Martins where 30% while Vans were 55%. This is why I have images up of black and white vans; I’m going to advise the girl in the narrative part of the music video to wear vans but if they aren’t available for her then she can wear Dr Martins as the questionnaire results suggest they are also common in the Indie subculture. Vans isn’t a brand that the audience will aspire to but they will feel connected to the music video as there’s common outfits.Another alternative for this character is a mini skirt and a cardigan. I put these images up because the questionnaire suggests these are common to the Indie subculture. This isn’t an outfit that the audience will aspire to but they will feel connected as they are wearing similar outfits. The brand or colour of these outfits aren’t important. Lastly I put up an image of chinos. The questionnaire suggest that many of the Indie subculture wears these items. The common colour of chinos are a brown-beige so my female character would wear these colours if she wears these chinos.

COSTUME: MALEThe image of the main character and the boys in the band will be wearing shirts or polo shirts with canvas shoes or vans; this is similar to the Indie subculture. The images above are examples of how they will be dressed. The first image are a brand of canvas shoes called vans. I chose the colours white and black because they are simple colours and I want the focus of the audience to go on the upper part of the character because this is what will be shown most of the shoot. These shoes are very popular in the indie subculture as my questionnaire results will suggest this; when I asked ‘If you were able to dress in any brand what would it be, Dr Martins where 30% while Vans were 55%. Vans isn’t a brand that the audience will aspire to but they will feel connected to the music video as there are common outfits.The other images are examples of men in shirts and chinos. From my questionnaire I know these are similar to the Indie subculture; asking what’s your favourite style in clothing, shirts were 35% with 40% with chinos and 40% canvas shoes. From looking at these images of shirts and chinos, the colour of the shirts I want the band members to were is either black, white (to go with the canvas shoes), red, orange and blue.• Red connotes love and romance. This is useful for us because our narrative includes romance so the red will help

emphasize this and help the audience to understand more.• Orange connotes and represents joy and sunshine. This could be useful as it could empress how the main artist feels

about the girl he gave his cigarette to and emphasising how happy he is talking to her.• Blue connotes and symbolises confidence and faith. This can help with representing the band as confident and

especially the main artist who in the narrative is talking to the girl of his dreams. Audience could aspire to this as it shows courage and major confidence that some of the audience may lack.

If chinos are worn, they will be of a brown-beige colour like the images because this is the most common colour in chinos.

ACCESSORIESI have chosen an image of wrist bands. The girl in the narrative would wear this piece because the genre of the music is Indie and wearing this will make her fit in more with the Indie subculture. The audience won’t aspire

I have chosen an image of diamond earrings. The girl in the narrative would wear this because they are sparkly and catch peoples eye. The audience may aspire to this image as diamonds are expensive. The colour of this would be clear as this is the usual colour are is more sparkly to get people attention.

to this image as it is cheap and available in local stores; they will feel joined to this music video as there’s common clothing. The colours won’t be bright; colours such as blue, black and pink to emphasize her feminine side.

I have chosen another image of wrist bands. The girl in the narrative may wear this in this colours to emphasize her feminine side and make her look more glamorous. I chose this because audiences may aspire to this as it looks glamorous; similar to what celebrities wear.

I have chosen an image of a Jesus wrist band. This will be worn on the main male character in this colour. I choose this because this is common in the Indie subculture especially many males. Audience’s wouldn’t aspire to this as it is cheap and available in local shops.

I have chosen an image of Dr Dre headphones. This will be worn on the main male character of the band. I chose this because this brand is expensive and is in many music videos. I chose this colour because our character already has the headphones so it will save us money. Audience’s will aspire this these headphones because they are expensive and the quality of them are good.

MAKE UPFor the female in the narrative part of the music video, she will be wearing make up. The brands of the make up isn’t necessary as the audience’s won’t know from looking at them. The female will be wearing foundation, mascara, rosy blusher, and glossy lips. The foundation will make her face look more smooth. This will make her look more attractive on camera. This is to attract a male audience. She will also be wearing rosy blusher and lip gloss. The blusher will be pink to make her look more feminine and the lip gloss will also be pink and make her lips shiny. This will attract a male audience as they may consider her beautiful. This make up used will also attract a female audience as they may aspire to look like her.

For the main male character and the rest of his band, they will just have light powder on their faces. This will be used so they look more attractive on the camera. Female audience’s may find the band attractive as they look good. Male audience’s may also aspire to the band to look like them. The first image I choose is an example of a male with light powder on. This makes his skin look more clear and attractive to the female audience. The other image is another perfect example of a male with light powder on to make him look more attractive.

AGEThe age of our age will be between the ages of 17-18. This is because most of our friends are of this age group. Also the age range of the audience’s that listen to Two Door Cinema Club are 17-30 years from statistics of the NME. Our audience may then feel connected with the band because they are of a similar age group.

HAIRThe female in the narrative part of the music video will have her hair similar to these images.

The first and second images are wavy/curly hair. There isn’t no specific hairstyle for the Indie subculture as their main belief is “do what you want and don’t care what people think. I chose these images because the hair looks messy but still feminine. This will be good for the female in our music video because as she looks feminine, she can look attractive to the band members and the male audience making them feel connected to the video. Girls may aspire to this to look more feminine. The third image is also feminine and has that ‘cheeky’ look. Girls may aspire to this look to look prettier. I choose this image because the female character has an admirer (The main band member) and the cheeky look can be what the band member likes about her.The four image is straight hair that flicks inwards with a fridge. I chose this image as this can be an alternative if the female character can’t do this hairstyles above. This hairstyle is very feminine and females will aspire this because they may want to look prettier. Men will also aspire o this because they will find this attractive as she looks pretty.

The first three images are of males with short hair. I choose these images because this is how the males in my band have their hair. These hairstyles are conventional to the Indie subculture because most of this subculture are white; there are no statistics to back this up but when I did my questionnaire, nearly all of them were of a white ethnic. This is the typical hairstyle for young white males within the Indie subculture and in general. Females may aspire to this because they may find this hairstyle attractive; they may feel connected.

IDEOLOGY

The main ideal we want our band to look like is Two Door Cinema Club. This is because they are the band of the song we are making a music video for. Although as their drummer isn’t part of the band, the drummer in our group will aspire to the drummer of the script as his part of that band.
