Artist Styling/ Costume Planning

 Personally, I think styling is very important when it comes to music videos or any type of production. It is clear to see that costumes are well-thought out before filming so this post will help me with my music video later on.

 Primarily, I would like my model/artist to have quite a casual look. This is purely to keep the main focus on the narrative taking place within in the video and on the props. Therefore, I may stick to a simple plain t-shirt and jeans. This can also portray the type of simplicity she is feeling at the time as my video isn't supposed to be particularly glamorous. As my video is about a heartbreak, my artist is supposed to appear upset, therefore her costume also has to link in with her mood. Taking this into account I may use a long black shirt to relate to the dark theme of the song. Perhaps some of the clothes I used may be ripped and tattered to further suggests the hard time she is going through. I own a couple of baggy shirts/tops which I could also used for my video. As my song is from a rock band, it may also be important to use a type of rock style. This may include dark colours that I have mentioned before, leather jackets and boots. 

 Moreover, I think make-up is also very important when it comes to styling. For my artist, I want to use dark eye make-up and dark lipstick as I also think this will go with the theme of the song. The hair will be quite simple however I may get my artist to wear a type of hat such as a beanie while filming.

 Below are some images regarding my costume and styling plans. There are also some images of the actual artist that I will be using for the song in my music video as I think her style is also relevant to the type of image I want to recreate. This will help me with my music video as it will give inspiration when I actually shoot my video. It has also given me a starting point for considering the type of clothes I will need for my production.
