My media partner and I decided on the costume ideas together, after collaborating our inspirations and thoughts in order to come to a final conclusion for each section of the different casts.
The Dancer Cast:
The idea for our dance cast was that they would be clothed in black outfits, (leggings, vest tops, etc) so that they could easily dance in the clothes, and so that they would contrast with our designated location of which we planned to film them in.
This is the ideal appearance we want our dancers to have, yet our filming would be against a lighter background.
The 'Crowd' Cast:
In our music video, the 'crowd' which we plan to film walking/running/skipping around shall be very important to symbolize and connote the concepts of 'unity.' However, my media partner and I believe that it would be best to keep them in casual looking clothes, so that it can logically match the situation at hand. We also feel that casual clothes set the right atmosphere for the crowd.
The Pianist
Our idea for our Pianist was that she would look "classy" and "fresh," which would fit in with the connotations of our music video. Therefore, we agreed to dress her in a formal dress, with dramatic makeup and nail varnish (paying attention to detail, as we would have many shots of her hands on the piano).
The Main 'Star'
The main 'star' proved a difficult aspect to think of - regarding costumes and outfits, because of the way that we had to portray him as the 'most important' star in the video - for the audience to idolize. Therefore, we decided that he was to wear a "cool" outfit, regarding the theme of 'smart-casual,' which involves red converses, a suit jacket and jeans.
My inspiration of the stylish, smart-casual theme (which was still suitable for our target audience) came from this:
