The document discusses costume and appearance plans for a girl band in an upcoming music video. It proposes 3 costume changes throughout the video with matching colors. Street/car park shots would feature edgy, urban styles in black, white and red. Red backdrop shots would feature evening looks from Topshop and Miss Selfridge in white or black dresses. Street shots again would feature edgy styles in the same color scheme, possibly with skirts. Boys would have an indie style in skinny jeans, shirts and sneakers. Makeup would be bold with dark eyeliner for street shots and heavy makeup in the same colors for backdrop shots. Hair styles would change in each location. Costumes would match members paired together. Participants were instructed to bring

1. THE COSTUME…
and appearance of the band in the video
By Laura Pound

2. THE GENERAL IDEA
When I was thinking of the different ways in which we could incorporate your
ideology to match our costume design. During the planning we felt that there
should be at least 3 different costume changes throughout the video as the pop
videos of girl bands in which we researched all contained on average three
costume changes. Whilst thinking of these different costume changes, I felt that
these costumes changes had to have the link of the same colour so that they all
linked and matched each scene, even if the outfit is different.
When thinking of already existing artists in which I felt would match the fashion
image in which we could be similar to was:
Pixie Lott
Jessie J

3. STREET 1/CAR PARK SHOTS -
GIRLS
‘Edgy’ looking outfits – Typical Urban Outfitters style.
Black shorts, different tights, black skinny jeans, heels, black/white or red top,
leather jacket?

4. RED BACKDROP SHOTS - GIRLS
Evening looking outfits – Topshop/Miss Selfridge style.
White or black dresses/white or black heels.

5. STREET 2 /CAR - GIRLS
‘Edgy’ style again – New Look/Urban Outfitters
Again, black/white/red colour scheme, maybe wear skirts in these shots and a
different top.

6. ALL LOCATIONS - BOYS
In all of the locations and shots the boy look in which we are going for is
meaning the typical, ‘boy band’ look, ‘Indie’ style: skinny jeans, shirt,
converses, vans, etc.

7. MAKE-UP
The makeup in the street shots and car park ones is very sharp and dark.
Eyeliner is bold, lipstick strong (red or black).
For the backdrop shot the make up should be all colour linked with each band
member and very heavy so that it picks up on the camera with lighting.

8. HAIR
Hair should be different for each band member in each location change, up,
down, curly, straight. Each person already has different coloured hair, and all
different lengths which can be changed throughout.

9. THE PAIRS
Within the music video preparation, we have paired people up with the
different looks so that each pair must match with costume design so it doesn’t
look odd.
Ermal – Megan
Joe – Amy
Jack – Helen
Adam – Laura
