2. Actor 1: Niall Armstrong Costumes
Niall will be wearing this black blazer to come across as a formal
character. The audience can relate to this costume because
most of my target audience will have worn a blazer when they
must attend an event in formal wear, such as a wedding, funeral
or dinner party. It will be worn proper and ironed so that the actor
looks representable. The blazer will not be ripped or damaged in
any way to preserve the image of a well respected person. The
purpose of the band looking so smart is to differentiate the band
from the narrative so the audience knows that they are not
connected in stories.
Niall will be wearing a white shirt to appear as smart and well
dressed and it is the appropriate clothing to wear underneath a
blazer. The audience can relate to wearing a white shirt because
this is a common item of clothing not only used for formal events
such as weddings and funerals, but can also be used for casual
wear, possibly to be worn on a night out with friends, and worn
daily by office workers or almost any job that is full time. The
shirt will be worn with the top button undone to imply the formal
reason he was wearing the shirt is over. The shirt will be worn
without any rips or damage to keep a professional standard.
A bow tie will be worn because it is a formal accessory to
accompany a blazer and shirt. The audience can relate to it if
they had ever attended a black tie event, however an average tie
is more relatable. The bow tie will be worn untied and hanging
either side of Niall’s neck. The accessory will not be ripped or
damaged to give the impression that nothing bad has happened
to the character.

the formal outfit Niall will be wearing as this
type of shoe accompanies black pants. The

10. Actor 5: Albert McVay Costume
Albert will be wearing a black denim jacket with a fur collar. This
is a popular style of jacket that was worn in the 80’s, which is
when my chosen song was released. My video is not set in the
80’s, however some of the costumes, locations and props will
have connotations of 80’s references, such as this denim jacket
as this was a popular style worn by most teenagers and young
adults in the 80’s era. It will be worn as usual without rips or
stains to show that this is a jacket the character wears
consistently and takes care of.
A plain white t shirt will be worn underneath the denim jacket.
This is just to act as a mid layer and suggests that the character
is of a middle class background considering there is no brand on
the t shirt. The t shirt will be worn as normal without any tears or
stains.
Black jeans will be worn to match the colour of the denim jacket
as ‘double denim’ was a popular style in the 80’s. the jeans will
be worn as normal without any rips or stains.
Adidas sambas will be worn as they were a trainer style released
in the 80’s, but have recently been re-sold in shops. The shoes
will appear worn out to show that they are the only branded
clothes the character owns.
11. Actor 6: Caden
Sherrard
Costume
Caden will be wearing a Metallica t shirt to represent how he is an older character as
Metallica is a metal band with a mainly middle aged/ adult audience. The top will be
dirty and worn out to show how the adult doesn’t care about how he looks.
Caden will also be wearing black jeans as this was a popular style for all ages during
the 80’s. the jeans will be worn as usual with no tears or rips to show the character
looks after the jeans as they are an expensive item of clothing. The character will be
wearing nothing on their feet to show they are comfortable in their own home.
