Costumes

The costumes for our music video aren't going to be a focus for the viewers and so we're planning to keep them discreet. We are using them to represent stereotypical male and female teenage characters and the drawings below show our rough ideas. They aren't striking and so allow the focus to be on the characters themselves, and the emotions they're trying to portray. 

Connie will have several costume changes; we'd like her to be wearing different clothes in each lip syncing location, as this will hopefully suggest the idea of time passing. 

We also plan to subtly change her clothing depending on whether she's alone or with her partner. When she's alone the clothing will be more suited for colder conditions (i.e. big jumpers and jackets or woolly hats etc), and when she's with her partner her clothing will be less. This subtly emphasizes her loneliness in her scenes without the partner as it show's the audience she lacks the warmth she had when she was with her partner; however, this will be minimal as we don't intend for it to be distracting.

Below is one of our initial sketches showing our ideas for costume design in the music video.
