Clothing

Billie-White

Shirt:
  • Although we have not yet seen the full extent of Katie/ Billie-Whites wardrobe, we have currently agreed that she should be wearing a similar styled shirt to the one in the image provided. The outfit will help to provide a clear representation of the artists genre and performance style, giving the audience a visual key to what they would be expecting from the style of our video.
  • With a black and white theme running throughout, we must carefully chose the type of colours that will feature on elements of particular styled clothing. We must consider that colours we are using in relation to the type of editing that we intend to use after the filming process. This is because when using a black and white filter./ software the lighting could mean that the artist appears 'washed-out' and the imagery of the artist would be distorted.
  • In this particular image, Billie-White is seen to be wearing a buttoned shirt with various shades of blue and small amounts of white. From this, we are able to get a clear indication of the types of colours that work well, however before filming we have time to experiment.
Jeans:
  • High waisted jeans, are the best fit that we feel would work with the video that we are creating. The artist that we have created has a 'quirky' almost indie personality. As a result, we feel that the type of clothing we wear should support this.
Thin Belt:

  • This helps to tie our outfit together, although it provides no major issues for the overall costume. 

To ensure that there is a theme of simplicity used throughout, we have decided that the dancers involved must wear the most neutral shades of colour as possible. Using a theme of either black, white or grey means that there will be no issues when filming/ editing in black and white, this also means that the dancers would not be working against the mise en scene of the filming location and lighting, this gives a professional impression and shows the care and consideration that has been taken to ensure that the people involved, look good.
    In addition, we have found that many videos that we have found feature people wearing simplistic styled clothing, which we feel would be best to suit the needs of our music genre.


    Female Dancer


    Black Leotard

    A black leotard is something that is very important for our dancer to be wearing during the filming stage. This is something that can link together the costume and the relevance of the dancer in a positive way. Having spoken already to our female dancer, a leotard is already provided. Meaning we are not restricted for our availability and location.

    White Tights

    Works in the best possible way for our female dancers costume. The black and white outfit works with our filter that we will use to achieve a professional appearance. These are already provided, meaning the our female dancers outfit causes no problems.

    Male Dancer

    Black Top:

    A black top, is simple and easy to get hold of. Supplied in most retail stores, it means that we will not be restricted or pushed for time when it comes down to our artist and dancers appearance. In addition, the bold black coloured top will ensure that it becomes the focus of the video, and the viewer would be encouraged to watch the video in full and understand the narrative.

    Grey Shorts:

    Would provide ease of movement for the male dancer. With our routine featuring lifts, we feel that the more relaxed the dancer feels, the better the video will look. We have ensured that the colour of the shorts also works with our overall design of the dancers in the video. It also adheres to the relaxed, dancer convention that we have created. This ensures that their is a true reflection of our video and those that exsist.
