Lost Costume Photos, FOUND

So before filming started, I had a long conversation between myself and my main girl character, Taylor, about costume ideas. We took some photos, but unfortunately I had lost them, UNTIL NOW!

So I got Taylor to try on some "indie/hipster" inspired clothes that would represent the music genre, and relate to the target audience of the music video, which included patterned leggings, big earrings and charity t-shirts.
Here some of the initial ideas that we thought of:

With these three first photos, I really like the white t-shirt, as it resembled classic tattoo's, which ties in with genre and target audience, but the dark jackets would take away the effect of the music video being set in late summer, even though we'd be filming in November. I liked the leggings as well, as many of my target audience would be familiar with the aztec pattern, and probably own a pair themselves.

But unfortunately, when we paired them together I still felt like the "summer" effect would be a strong, as the costume lacked colour, and was mainly black and white, sometime I didn't want. I also wanted Taylor to stay warm in the freezing temperatures, because if she became too cold, it would show through the film, and again, the summer effect would be lost. Also I didn't want her to become unwell.

After much debate we settled with a light grey hoodie, which would keep her slightly warm, but wasn't dark enough to take away from my desired effect. 

We also decided to add very large gold heart earrings, a small detail, but hopefully connoting that Taylor was in love, due to the heart, and was very happy, as gold is a good wealthy colour. This could also be a "gift" from the boyfriend, which again, could show how the couple are happy; the key emotion I want to convey.

Finally we found these, very bright orange jeans, which completes the outfit! Combined together, the costume looks happy, bright and very summery, as orange is highly associated thorough the sun (Setting or rising) which is hot and bright during summer, and therefore giving the costume a summery vibe!

When filming, Taylor did wear the hoodie during all shots, as the weather dropped considerably during filming week. I still think that she conveys the right emotions though, and feel the grey hoodie takes nothing away!
