1. Costume

2. Costumes for Britney
 I would like the costume for my singer
showman and entertainer type outfit.
 My initial idea is to have the singer in
all black, black tights, black leotard
and black boots, these costumes
because it is the stereotypical costume
for a circus act. The singer will also be
in a circus styled black tailcoat.
 Other costume will be used to show a
change in location, the costume will
change to have Britney in a sparkly top
with tights and leotard again.
 Jazz shoes may also be worn
depending on the co-ordination of the
costume and whether the boots suit
the look.

3. Costume 1: worn by – dancers &
Britney
 These costumes will be used in the
scenes in the dance studio and will be
partially scene in the other scenes,
showing the rehearsal process. This
costume isn’t completely relatable to
my target audience unless they
themselves are dancers, however, it
suits the location.
 This costume is an important costume
because it is the costume the dancers
will wear most, however, it will also be
worn by the singer in rehearsal scenes
and each actor will be wearing this as
part of their costume.
 Dancers will also be scene in red
skirts, the pattern on the skirt
compliments that outfit worn by
Britney and relates to the genre.

4. Costume 2: worn by dancers &
Britney
 I have chosen these shoes because I
know that the actor is already
comfortable in these shoes and will be
able to dance confidently.
 These shoes are very relatable to my
target audience because they are in
the current day fashion and most likely
worn by my audience on a day to day
basis, the use of heels is also a popular
look for circus acts without many
acrobatic tricks.
 The heels will be worn by the singer in
most scenes as they make her
personality look confident, the boots
will also be worn by the dancers in the
main dance scene.
 The jazz shoes are a back up shoe in
case any costumes look strange with
the heels but look suitable with jazz
shoes.

5. Costume 3: worn by Britney
 This outfit will be worn in the scenes in in the changing room along with the
tailcoat and heeled boots.
 I have chosen this outfit because both the jeans and tailcoat will be suitable for the
style of video. It is also a look that suits the character being played in the song.
 Also, this clothing will be easy to dance in without damaging material.
