R+P Post 25: Costumes, Props and Make-up

To get started planning our outfits we first researched how many outfits were conventional in a girl band music video. Out of the many examples we looked at 3/4 different outfits seemed to be the most common. We have therefore decided to use three different outfits.

Outfit 1: Individual outfits for individual performances
Outfit 2: Group dance outfits
Outfit 3: Dinner scene outfit

For example in M,O's music video 'Preach' they change three outfits:

We drew inspiration from this outfit by M.O because we have a scene in our music video where it's supposed to be a fancy dinner set up so we thought we would have black tie outfits but with a twist like they have done in M.O's video.




M.O also have another outfit that we really liked and thought that it would represent our band perfectly. It's their jogging bottoms one with oversized shirts and crop tops. We really liked the way the joggers looked in the video so we decided we wanted to  use this aspect in our video too.




They also used the joggers outfit in another video: 




I really liked the bomber jacket that one of the girl's were wearing with the plain top and also the sweater.




During one of our group meetings we sat down and brainstormed some ideas for our three outfits based on our research and also our band's street identity in mind:









We then created a finalised version on the computer with pictures for reference:

Outfit 3:





























We had most of the clothes we planned to wear in our wardrobes already but I had to order two things:

1) A black crop top

2) Grey Joggers


In order to practise our make up looks, we all went to Angela's house one weekend and tried out various different looks and made not of these looks so that we could use it for the shoot. Below I have included some photos from that day.

            

For the guys we decided on two outfits.


Outfit 1: We don't want them to stand out at all, we want the girls to be the main focal point so we decided to dress the guys in all black for the individual performance shots.

Outfit 2: We plan to use them as waitors for our dinner table scene so waitors outfits:

  • White shirt
  • Bowtie
  • Black Shoes
  • Black dress pants

Props:
  • 4 red heart shaped balloons
  • Coloured confetti 
  • 'Wine' - Apple Juice and Lemonade
  • 4 Wine Glasses 
  • Wine Bottles
  • Two Small Tables to make one long table
  • Red/Maroon tablecloth
