Costume

2 comments:

  1. Excellent. Especially on connotations of colours. Well done also, for referring to existing artists (in the form of images). It would be worth adding a comment to accompany that explains the artist/song/vide and, importantly, genre. Ideally this needs to be linked to your own artist's genre.

  2. Genres of music carry conventions within culture groups. This means music is heavily influencial within the 'costume' or dress of the audience. For example a heavy metal band will have a certain way of dressing that is fitting to that music genre, in which popular artists of that genre will dress as will their 'fans' in order to become part of this group. The costume provides a collective identity for the audience. Therefore I must take into consideration the genre of my music video, and aim to link the costume with this genre. Since the genre is upbeat acoustic- I have looked at artists dress within this genre and have taken ideas from their clothing. Artists such as Ellie Goulding are very similar to my own, and I have taken her casual dress style onboard within my own music video.
