Costumes

We have chosen to use mostly ordinary clothes as we don’t really need any fancy/periodic costumes since the video is set within modern times and the actors are no different to any other ordinary living person. The basic set of clothing will involve jeans and a T-shirt/jacket.

Even though the clothing items are ordinary we have decided to use different colour coded clothes, for example the disabled character is wearing a white T-shirt to not only show innocence but to show how plain and hellishly boring his life is now that he is immobile without the wheelchair. The clothes themselves technically go against the genre unfortunately as it is alternative music.

Multiple colours will be used within the marital break up to show that the difference between right and wrong/good and bad aren’t as “black and white” as people might think, this should aid in slightly disorienting the audience which is what we want as the content is writerly not readerly. Again we will be using multiple colours to blur reality with the religious character as his personal reality has become blurred from the loss of someone he loved, and this constant state of depression which is blurring his reality is taking over him making him depressed and obsessed.

We will also be using alternative costume props to try and link with the genre of the music an example of this would be the veil that we are using within the marital break up to make the scene appear abstract also the fact that the character is wearing a veil whilst sitting in a living room is very alternative and different which in turn can link with the genre.
