Costume research

Costume:

For our music promo we decided to go for a casual clothing style. The purpose of this is to reflect upon the relaxed vibe of the indie/rock genre.

Below are our final choices for costume and makeup:

Joe dressed for filming

As you can see, Joe is dressed in a long black jumper with a gold chain overlaying. His jeans are a light blue faded colour with distinct rips on both legs. Overall we believe this look works well and links with our chosen genre 'indie rock' genre. The simplistic styling of our actors dress sense allows the audience to focus more on the meaning behind the lyrics, rather than the styling of his clothing.

Tallulah dressed for filming

Tallulah is also wearing a rather simplistic outfit, her ripped jeans are purposeful for matching Joe's edgy look. We hoped for Tallulah to have a warm feeling to her style, so we dressed her in an autumnal orange/brown winter jumper to create a romantic sense of warmth. The golden tones within her hair compliments her look and adds a glowing healthy touch to her skin tone.

Makeup and hair:

To compliment our romantic theme throughout our promo, we thought our actresses makeup should appear natural and slightly dewy. Going for a natural look would attract our target audience, as the star icon would seem youthful and therefore setting a good example to teenagers who may feel the need to cover up their insecurities. Tallulah's foundation is almost exactly the same shade as her skin

tone, it does not have a entirely matte finish which therefore produces a natural healthy glow. The autumnal eyeshadow contrasts beautifully against her big green eyes. A little amount of mascara defines the colour of her green eyes. We thought that our actress would suit a rose colour on her lips, to make them seem full and to deliver connotations of love and romance. Our actress wore her hair in a half-up half-down hairstyle flowing freely, so that the warm tones of her highlights complimented her warm glowing complexion.
