This document discusses outfit ideas for characters in a music video. It considers suggestions from others for the female character to wear a dress with trainers or a hoodie and jeans. For the male, a waistcoat and trainers or a simple outfit is proposed. Accessories like a necklace representing luck are also discussed. Color choices and locations are considered to fit the narrative. The practicalities of costumes for filming are debated.

1. This person wanted the man to be
dressed smart/casual, with the main
features being a waistcoat and
trainers. They wanted the women to
be less smart, also wearing trainers,
but this time in jeans and a hoodie. I
think that having the male in
smart/casual clothing would work
well and fit the image we are looking
for during the rural location, where
as the women’s outfit would be
more suited for the urban location,
so that she could become more
feminine and well dressed in the
rural location.

2. I really like the outfit ideas that this
person has drawn. For the women
long hair is what me and Jeannette
were looking for, and I like the idea of
pairing a dress with trainers to give a
slightly edgier look to an otherwise
girly outfit. I also think that using a
boy’s hoodie with this would work
well as it shows the couple’s
relationship. As for the colour red
this is shows danger as well as love
which fits in with the song lyrics and
the narrative of our music video. For
the male character I agree that
short, messy hair would look good
and I think a simple outfit like shown
in this drawing would work well.

3. The main thing that I picked up from this drawing was
the idea of having a necklace that the boy can give to
the girl. During our focus group discussion it was
suggested that this should be a simple of luck, so
maybe we could use a clover, dice or horse shoe
necklace to show this. Like the previous drawing this
person had the idea of a dress, but this time in white.
I think white shows purity and calmness, so one idea
could be to use the colour white during the rural
location, but red during the urban location. Also, the
footwear is different as they have suggested heels
which may be good for some rural scenes, although I
don’t think it would suit the whole video as this is not
something girls would typically wear on an average
day. For the boy the theme of jeans and a t shirt has
stayed the same, but this time dressed up slightly
with a watch. However for filming this may be
impractical due to the time changing and so a
bracelet may be a better alternative.

4. The last person also suggested jeans for the
male’s costume and this is what I think we
will go with as it is not too casual or
smart, but in the middle. They drew a
leather jacket which would look quite good
during the pick up truck scenes as it gives an
edgier touch to the outfit. For the girl they
haven’t gone into much detail, but suggested
simple clothing in the colour blue which is
something we will consider when looking at
costume.
