  COSTUME PLANNING henconsidering the styling and costume planning for my music vid-eo I have needed to consider not only what my artist is going to where but the female that will also feature in the music video. Due to choosing the song “Hey There Delilah” by The Plain White T’s and considering the typical audiences and artists within this genre I have come to a con-clusion that the styling is not all about heels and dresses which is seen in pop music videos. They styling I have chosen to go with for my music video is almost a ‘laid back’ style. This being for both characters during the perfor-mance and narrative side to my music vdieo. G I R L S For the female character that will be in the music video narrative side I have decided to style her in clothes which could be argued as everyday clothes that look good with little effort. This is due to me wanting the girl to come across as a character who is indie that enjoys going to festivels and gigs rather than parties, clubbing and dressig up. The clothing items i shall use are boots (top right) which are dull brown or black, with a baggy t - shirts and cardi-gen which I believe should be long and of a brighter colour than the rest of the outfit. In order to make the female stand out I shall dress her in knee high socks to enhance her individuality. When considering the outfit as a whole I would want the girl to be portrayed as friendly and easy going, not taking her styling and fashion too serious with popular brand or labels due to that con-trasting the type of people that would watch the music video as well as the artists themselves being more focused on lyrics and music. I shall ensure that when I film the girl in her outfits her hair will be naturally wavey and her make up natural looking with potentially black eyeliner on her eye lid. This is due to me wanting to show the girl from the males opinion of her and thoughts, enforcing the lyircs. Finally I shall make sure the girl is wearing a red lipstick to match her hair as well as make sure that she is brunnet or ginger (top left) in order to stand out and be different to a typcical girl. G U Y S The male artist that will be the main focus in the song and be in both the performance side and the narrative side will be dressed in the same style of clothing com-pared to the woman. This mean-ing that I shall dress the male in clothing which can be described as Indie. The clothing idea I have is smart casual, which allows the audience to feel comfortable and laid back when watching the music video rather than feeling that is ‘fake’ and put on but true to the lyrics and meaning-ful to the artist allowing the au-diences that are male to relate and respond. He shall be wearing a casual shirt or top (bottom middle or right) with potentially braces and a beanie hat. This is to show that he is a laid back character and it is all about his feelings towards the girl rather than his appearance and fashion style. Furthermore, the male will be wearing jeans to make the outift look casual. I shall not use deisnger brands due to it being unrealistic that the stu-dents that would listen to the aritst would buy the same clothing.
