Inspiration for flashbacks

This has inspired us to do the flashbacks within our video and have the sound of heels throughout our video as a sound motif.

Our ideas have changed slightly from our previous ideas so consequently so has the costumes above shows a basic idea of the costumes we shall be making.

This is the list of makeup we will need to create the effect like on the youtube video we have posted previously on our blog.

These are design ideas for our dresses in the forest scene these dresses will be knee legnth long and off white. We will create an old effect to the dresses by mixing the white fabric with teabags. These dresses will be wrapped around the characters in an almost greek goddess like fashion. When the fire scene comes on the characters who in the forest scene had white dresses white contacts and a zombie like feel to them, will unwind the white dresses to show black shorter dresses beneath. They will also have black contact lenses in to show that the characters sadness is now turning into anger. We have designed the dresses like this to show that the characters are been released from all there problems and are overcoming them. It will be seen as symbolic when the dresses are thrown into the fire. We are planning on designing and making our own costumes.

we wrote a list of the items of costume which would be needed in our video.

Inspiration for makeup in our Video

We have been trying to think outside the box and think about how we can adapt our genre, to intrigue the audience and give them something that is not typically found in this particular genre. We have been inspired by this video to try and recreate it in our music video. However we wont have the blood and the black lines on the face. But since our music video is performance and amplification video as well as a narrative one, we thought this would work extremely well. However instead of just having the makeup looking like eyes on top of the lids. When our characters open their eyes they will also have contact lenses in so it will be a shock to the audience and be exceptionally effective. The idea behind this makeup is to almost create an effect in which butterflys use when trying to protect themselves to stop them getting harmed. They have large eye like patterns on their wings making them look like they are bigger, scarier creatures then what they are to scare predators away. Our characters are putting on this front and they look scary so as to make themselves unapprochable and so they cannot be hurt no more. Because people generally put on a front when they are upset so as no questions are asked as into the reason as to why they are upset.

Practice Music Video

I enjoyed practicing creating a music video, as it got me familiar with the software i would be using and i also realized how time consuming editing was so it helped me create a realistic time table for the real video i shall be creating. I used a lot of affects throughout my practice video i tried to use amplification, as well as making it a contradictory video as to making it irrelevant to the lyrics been sang.
