Costume Ideas

Celebrity Inspirations For Scenes:

This medium close up image is of Rihanna. A very successful pop/r&b/dance artist who has established herself in music throughout the years and is still going strong. This image portrays attitude and sultry. She looks confident and a superior women who isn't afraid of anything, I love the way she looks here and portrays herself. I would especially like to incorporate facial expressions and postures like this within my own shots as I want to my artist to be an established confident woman.

This mid shot shows only half of her body, but is capable of showing her personality through her posture and costume/clothing. Wearing bright red lip stick is an iconic statement for this artist Rita Ora. The shorts and beanie hat are stereo typically linked to a 'hipster' dress sense yet it still partially unique.

This long shot of Lady Gaga shows her more 'tame' style in clothing. She is hugely famous and word widely known for outrageous fashion sense for grabbing headlines. This has hugely fueled her pop music career and helped establish herself world wide. I particularly like the use of her sunglasses and long shiny pink skirt. Her posture is shy like, which I also like because it can be used against people in the saying 'butter wouldn't melt' when in fact she is a person with a huge personality. 

This close up shot of Pixie Lotts face shows her hair and make-up which I am interesting in. I would like to add eye make up like this to my actress during the scene of her 'photo shoot' to make it look more realistic. 

This mid shot has a great pose and attitude, it is giving off the impression she doesn't care and is doing as she pleases as well as looking good. She is posing with the cigarette and as I have been considering using something like this in my music video to portray the artist more I would consider using it in a way like this photo has.

This long shot shows a popular girl band 'The Saturdays' I'm looking at their choice of herstyles and look of home made jeans which is effective in this picture. I like the long hair and tousled look. 

Long shot, as I am wanting to film scenes in the bath, I like the style of clothing and pose used in this picture of the pop artist. It gives off a fun vibe, whilst clutching a bottle of alcohol in her hand. I also am fliming a shot in which my actress has her legs across the bath and this would fit in with the lyrics 'act like I don't give a F**ck' The red iconic lipstick also out stands her lips and shows a womenly side. 

This medium close up is very effective and is showing her anger, frustrating and the fact and she doesn't care at this time towards the person she is signalling this to. It also manages to make her still look glamorous and beautiful even when she is been unfeminine. I have a lyric within the song that says 'middle finger when it comes to love' This would be a great shot to film for it.

This medium close up shows a fun loving artist and the fact that she has her arms in the air shows she is dancing and playing around whilst in the middle of dancing or speaking. The crown also represtents she is important and again shows she is still femine. 

Rob Kardashian shows an urban style in this long shot, with is layering of clothing and his trainers that stand out. He looks confident in himself and pulls off this style effectively,  I want my actor to have this similar affect even though he is going through a tough time.

This style again  is similar and 'indie' I want my actor to look similar to this medium close up.

Mise-en-scene of costume, hair and make-up will be a very important aspect in my music video as this is the way the artist will portray her image through. The clothing will be of an urban style which is used throughout many pop/rock and also Indie music videos and artists.   Her choice of clothing will change throughout different scenes within the music video to fit towards the lyrics and narrative. As I will also have another actor in my music video, his style will also fit the urban look and I have found several male celebrities which I will incorporate their style into his overall look. Make-up will also be essential in my music video for a scene in which the artist has been crying and is deeply upset, to portray this I am going to have lots of black make up running down her face and smudged cheeks and lips.
