The document describes costumes and props for a music video narrative. The main female character wears a white dress and cardigan at first, representing purity, but later changes to a black dress showing how she has "turned bad." The main male character wears black to symbolize negativity. At a masked ball, guests wear ball gowns, masks, suits and black shoes. Props like angel wings in white and black, masks, devil horns and others will help portray the change in the female character from good to bad as influenced by the male character over the course of the relationship.
