Hair and Make-Up Ideas

This is an idea for Ryan (our performer's) hair. We have sprayed it back into a large side quiff to show off his red and orange highlights. This will mean that he will fit the genre better, as the artists in Indie Alternative bands do not tend to wear their hair all in their eyes. If we wanted to make Ryan more Indie, we could put him in a hat, just showing off the front of his quiff.

This is an idea for Sophie's superhero make-up. I used different types and colours of eye-liner to create the glowing-swirl effect.
We thought about using this make-up because it is very different compared to normal make-up, which makes Sophie instantly stand out. The gold elements of the make-up have connotations of good, angels, money and powers; which are commonly associated with superheroes.

Final Costume Ideas

This is the costume for the heroes (good turning evil). The wear brighter colours and slightly more revealing clothes (which is a recognisable among superheroes, especially females). We have laid the costumes out like this, so we could see what they look like from a distance.

This is the costume for the villains. They wear darker colours and slightly less revealing clothes (also see Hannah's costume below). They also wear more black which is common with super villains to wear darker colours.
As you can see with all these costumes, they are very entropic, as no one dresses like this - unless they are going to a fancy dress party. We chose these colours because we wanted to attract teenagers mainly and I believe that these costumes  do this well. Bright colours are often associated with teens because they are known for holding 'rave' or 'neon' parties.

Responsibilities

For our music video, we realised we all needed different sorts of props, costume and make-up/hair accessories. So, to solve this problem, we gave each member of the group a few items that they had responsibility for.

Facebook Planning Group

At the very start of the course, my group set up our very own private Facebook group. This allowed us to share all of our work and research with each other from the comfort of our own home, quickly and easily. It also meant that we could keep each other updated on our progresses as well as availability.
We also added Ryan to the group so that he would be kept updated at all times about what we were planning to do.

Locations

For our locations, we have chosen two main locations; town and in a forest.

We have chosen to use the town because it will allow us to show the heroes/villains committing crimes, as well as the fact it is a realistic setting, so the audience will be able to relate to it.

We have chosen to use the forest for both the performance and narrative elements of our video, because it will allow us to film Ryan performing in a realistic setting. The video will also have connotations of the heroes and villains turning into/being animals, because of their wild behaviour and the setting of the forest.

Risk Assessment

This is our Risk Assessment. We did this to make sure we were all aware of any dangers in the areas we were planning to film. This means that we are now all more aware of our surroundings, as well as the potential safety problems we may encounter.
