Costumes, hair and make up - Vic

Our costume ideas that we plan to use in our video are fairly 'provocative', as we aim to use stockings and suspenders, a veriety of tight, short, dresses. We also need to ensure that the video doesnt come off looking too 'sexual' as it will make it look cheap and tacky and as a result we will fail to achieve our target audience (ages 15 - 25), and will most likly have an older male audience.  

Our ideas for costumes could be fairly costly however our friends have got outfits which fit our genre, therefore this will save us as a group money. The outfits have either come from highstreet shops, old dancing costumes or fancy fress costumes. If we need any extra clothing I plan on searching charity shops and various vintage shops in the town centre.

We plan on using several items of fake fur. Non of the fur used in our video will be real. We are well aware that using real fur could raise some ethical issues.

For the make up aspect of things most of the make up we will need Emily or myself own it. However for the slightly more 'outrageous' make up e.g. 'crimson lipstick' and 'large fake eye lashes', I plan on buying it from the Market in the town centre. This will be a cheap way of buying the make up.

We have planned for the girls in our music video to have long hair in a 'messed up' style. We have gained inspiration from other female rock artists for his look. We will need hair spray which I own and this 'hair cream' to give the hair a messy, wavey look which I also own. The hair will also require back combing.

The only issue that may occur is the shoes, they need to be a certain grungy look and possibly one of our friends may own some large, black, grungy heels, and she has different sized feet to the other actors in our music video. However I am confident that we will overcome this possible issue.
