Pre Production: Costume

We have looked at different examples of music videos that the year above at our school have done. We chose one, which actually Max is in, to be inspired by costume wise. We like the look that Max Boast and Thomas have in the video ''Jungle''. The boy singing is Max Boast who is gonna be the main actor and character of this thriller. We want our band to have the same kind of look as him and the drummer. However, I think the guitarist looks like an outcast with his rock kinds of t- shirt so we will go away from that kind of idea.

We found a picture of a band that will be quite useful for our costume ideas. The guy on the very left is more of an idea of the style we are going for however the rest do sort of fit the ideal. This costume would add a good feel to the opening as it immediately gets a taste of the characters personalities as you can see what they like and how much effort they make.

We also considered this option however,  we thought it was too rocky and that most audiences would rather sympathise with more with people from their first image then the second one. Also my group and I wanted to create our own kind of style. This gothic band sort of style is too cliché and heavy.

Costume design is one of the most important factors in the filmmaking industry. Along with the script, actors and music, the clothing and various costumes worn throughout a film have a very important role to fulfill. They can make the characters interesting and believable, sad or funny, good or evil, and they can greatly influence-sometimes at a subconscious level-how the audience sees the characters that wear them.
