For costume planning, I decided to put multiple images together and similar to the mood board, discuss what I hope to mirror (inspirations) and the similarities these different bands of the similar genre have in common.
Straight away we notice casual but band like clothing again as talked about in my research. The casual clothing is suitable for the particular weather and location but not specific to the genre style and could be clothing that anyone could wear. In other words, the costumes are not too flashy and therefore can be mirrored (copied) by the audience in order to increase the bands fame.
What is particularly interesting about these bands is the contrast in colour they have between them. They are not all wearing dark or light clothing and therefore all separated in style. The only exception to this would be the top photo on Linkin Park which all seem to be wearing dark clothing. This seems to work pretty good with that style of music but probably not something I will be considering when it comes to my own music video.
Furthermore, the general style of clothing (contrast, brand, etc.) makes the band actually look like a band and separates them to what we may see on the streets. This will be a high aim for me as even though it is not noticed by the audience, it has a huge effect on how to band stand out to the audience.
For my music video, I hope to not fuss too much about dressing up my actors but just suggesting they were something in style with this genre and possibly something quite dark. Plain clothing with no text on would be best but certain shirts with graphic pictures on will be fine.
From this task, I have not only developed my ideas but also made up my mind and successfully planned what the actors in my project will be wearing.
