The document discusses costume ideas for a music video based on the song "Rumor Mill". It describes taking inspiration from the band We Are the In Crowd and the pop-punk genre. Typical pop-punk fashion includes casual clothing, dark colors, baseball caps, checkered shirts, skinny jeans, and converse shoes. The proposed costumes for the music video band members include dark jeans, Dr. Martins boots, baseball shirts, checkered shirts, and punk/rock styles to fit the genre. A narrative element of the video involves a Halloween party where extras dress as exaggerated versions of themselves.

2. Band Costumes
We have drawn inspiration from the band
that the song ‘Rumor Mill’ came from; We
Are The In Crowd. The genre of the song is
reflected in the clothes they wear, which is
Pop-Punk.

3. The Rock/Pop-Punk Genre Style
From here we can see that Pop-Punk bands, like Fall Out Boy wear mostly casual
wear, with the few exceptions of really dark clothing. Paramore, however, wear
dark clothing as their set look, making them look more edgy and rock-like.

4. Most Rock/Pop-Punk
bands generally have
the same style all the
time. All the men,
almost always, have
shaggy hair that falls
over their eyes, giving
a edgy look. The rock
look is also shown
through the leather
jackets (the
motorcycle look).
There are also subtle
Indie genre looks with
the checkered shirts
and tight skinny
jeans.

wear clothes that

8. Narrative Costumes
In our interpretation of ‘Rumor Mill’, we have decided to
make the narrative as a Halloween party/fancy dress. We
will have people dressing up being ‘the made up version of
me’ (which is shown in the lyrics), being a completely
different person of themselves, thus the Halloween
costumes, dressing up into someone they are not.
