Costume Inspiration

Our Performer:

We began to research costumes and outfits for our performers to wear in our music video. surprisingly we found this more difficult than expected as most performes were dressed provocatively. especially Rihanna and Beyonce who we have taken most of our inspiration from. When we come to filming our own music video, we have decided our performer will be dressed in fashionable, attractive clothing, but in a way that does not objectify or sexualise her. However, we did find a few outfits that we would like to recreate in our own video.

After watching the music videos (above) we have found several ideas for costumes that we would like to use in our video:

• For the dancing aspect our music video we would like our performer to be dressed in a leotard, similarly to Beyonce, however we would prefer it to be white. 
• For our water scene. we would like our performer to be dressed in a 'flowy' dress like Beyonce was as it creates a more dramatic effect in slow-motion. 
• After re-watching Rihanna's video for 'What Now', Lauren and I decided we would like our performer to be dressed in pastel colours and simple outfits (e.g. white) to contrast the tone of despair which is used throughout the video. 
• Lastly, we watched Selena Gomez's video for "What the heart wants". We were inspired by the simple but visually attractive outfit including the earrings and hairstyle.
