Costuming

For the costuming of our characters, we plan to base the style of Ellie in the music video around Lana Del Rey. This is because we have taken influences from her music videos and her image as a person over all. We are going to continue the same style and follow it through the production of our music video so that It links with our own style of filming and editing. We plan to have similar jewellery and casual wear, as Ellie’s character within our music video isn’t flashy or over the top. Most of Lana Del Rey's music videos have a naturalistic feel with an urban social realist atmosphere as seen in Ride; we plan to re-create these styles with the use of costume throughout out music video. As the narrative of our video is about a normal teenage girl, we don't want to have clothes that will make her look 'special' similar to what is don't in We Found love - Rihanna.
Most of the clothes Ellie will wear will be her own clothes, as we have noticed Ellie has a similar style to Lana Del Rey and Rihanna. As we want Ellie to have an ordinary look to make it relatable to our target audience she will be wearing her own clothes.

 

Here you can see the actual complete date was delayed by 6 days due to more contemplation over what style we wanted Ellie to have to allow her to have a similar style to the genre of music.
