ASSIGNMENT 50Costume, Props and Make-Up Planning

COSTUME

Main Performer Costume• This is our performers costume. As this video is purely performance, lots of

importance is placed on the performer and his outfit.

This features:- Black beanie hat- Black round vintage

glasses- Toothpick- Black skinny shirt- White t-shirt - -Black bandana (Waist)- Skinny blue ripped jeans- Black Trainers

To make this memorable, the use of the glasses and hat combination creates a brand image that is easily identified and memorable. Similarly, placing the bandana at the waist adds to the diversity and individuality that this genre expresses.

*Here is the predominantly black variation of the costume, this colourway will be inverted to create and aesthetically pleasing outfit.

PicturesThe bottom half, features bandana, blue skinny jeans and black shoes.

The top half features a white undershirt with black shirt over, glasses, hat and toothpick.

Side profile of main performer features toothpick, glasses and how the hat sits on the head.

Alternative Costume • To keep the video interesting the main performer will swap to the ‘Inverted’

colourway of his costume.

*Everything that was once black will alternate and turn white and so on, the swap will occur frequently.

*We already own these items which make the process of requiring items easier/decrease overall cost.

InspirationWe found inspiration off of ‘Swae Lee’ of ‘Rae Sremmurd’ who uses the round vintage glasses as fashion. We will use the glasses as a USP to create identity and make the artist distinctive.

Other Performers Costumes• Less emphasis will be on the other performers costume as the sole focus should be

on the main performer. However, the costumes will still fit the genre and enhance the realism of the video.

This features:-Long hem t-shirt-Blue ripped skinny jeans-Black trainers

This features:-Black cap-Glasses-Toothpick-Padded Jacket-Hoody-Baggy jeans-High-top trainers

These costumes will remain distinctive and memorable due to the contrast of clothing. This provides eye-catching costumes as there are different features to each person that trigger the memory of the viewer, therefore creating a visual appeal.

InspirationThe dancer costume were inspired by ‘SheLovesMeechie’ a dance group.

Here they utilize the ‘baggy jeans and high-top’ look.

Here they utilize the ‘skinny jeans and long shirt’ look.

We decided to use both within our video to combine all element of ‘hip-hop’ costumes and make it visually pleasing and also reflect the genre.

Other Props Sourcing

Piece Got NeedToothpicks Yes

Drink bottle Yes Designer Brands Yes

Earth Ball Yes Smoke Bombs Yes

What we haveIncreased importance is added on props as this is what viewers will be focusing on.

Designer brands help attract the youthful viewers who are looking for branding.

The beverage bottle is used to reflect the hip-hop theme, filled with water, little touches that make the video.

Toothpicks mirror this ‘hip-hop’ gangster theme and add a small touch which makes a huge difference.

Need • We had to source and purchase the ‘Earth ball’ and ‘Smoke bombs’ as these are key in creating brand image and connection, also to make the video aesthetically pleasing.

Earth ball to create artist and album connection of ‘Vs the World’. Very cheap and affordable price.

Different types of smoke bombs for various visual effects, higher price but easily split between the group.
