Planning; Costume, Hair and Make-up

We have decided to plan aspects of the mise-en-scene before beginning our music video in order to ensure we are in control of how we would like the characters to appear. Below I have included some images and why we have chosen to use them. 


Costumes:
We would like for our female character to wear a few different dresses in order to exaggerate her feminine role. We would ideally like to use a floral dress in order to emphasize this feminine side further. In order for this character to stand out, we would prefer for her to be wearing perhaps a dark blue dress. We believe the flowers on the dress will make Sarah appear more vulnerable and delicate. An image of an ideal floral dress is shown below:

We would also like it for Sarah to appear in a white, lace dress in order to give off the impression that she is pure and also, delicate. We would like to use this as we feel as though it represents our song well; 




However, as we are also featuring a male character in our music video, we will also need to consider and plan his outfit. We have agreed on casual, every-day clothes for the male. This is in order to make the male character not appear out of place. We have all agreed on a casual t-shirt, featuring perhaps a skull or a skeletal design. This is because this will suit his role in the music video. An image of potential clothing is shown below:

Hair

We are hoping that because of the windy weather at the time of filming, we will be able to create an image of Sarah;s hair flowing in the wind. We like to mirror such emotion from images such as this pocahontas gif a member of the group found, shown below;

Make-up:

We would prefer for the female character to be wearing natural make-up to carry on the pure, innocent look. This will also, ensure the emotion is not detracted from the female character too. This picture of Zooey Deschanel portrays this type of pure effect. both her eyes and lips are the most emphasised features. We would like to mirror this on our female character, using mascara and eye-liner and a natural glossy, lip gloss.
