Costumes

Above lies our final decisions on the costumes that the artist in the video will wear. These are the same as what we planned within our concept post, and after conversing we decided to finalise these notions as they were already thought through thoroughly at a previous time.


Dressing Gown: This is what we are thinking of using inside of the cabin. The use of a dressing gown implies the depressing mood put forward by the character. The colour of the dressing gown also connotes a negative portrayal. We'd also like to represent how the cabin in which he wears this costumes symbolises his metaphorical pitfall and how he is currently at rock bottom within this specific strand.

Purple Camo Fur Coat: This is what the character will wear within Central London. It will contrast with the surroundings on screen. It's also effective how it has a camouflage design, which insinuates that the character should blend in, although the unique colours culminates it to stand out. The fur collar additionally restores the seasonal wintry atmosphere as this too connotes loneliness and bad weather, consequently resulting in pathetic fallacy which reflects the mood of the video.

Khaki Parka: This is what the character is going to wear whilst walking around Box Hill. As well as looking like something you could wear whilst hiking, it also compliments the background, reinforcing the fact that he blends in within the lonely town in which he resides. The fact that I will always wearing a coat within the video in either Box Hill or London reinstates the cold ambience we are trying to display throughout the video, as this justifies the pathetic fallacy that has been used.

Grey Suit with Red Shirt: In addition, we have also decided to include a change of costume within the last scene of video. This includes our artist changing from the dressing gown, and finally leaving the cabin whilst wearing a suit. This represents how he is taking a step and moving on with his life, in search of something new and starting fresh. The use of red connotes the love and possible anger/hatrid towards his past lover.
