Costume, Hair and Make-up Ideas

Due to the abnormality of the characters involved within the narrative of my music video and for effect to to keep the interest of the audience, the costumes, hair and make-up must be thoroughly researched. Therefore, I have collected images from magazines and the internet to help develop possible ideas for costume, hair and make-up.

When looking at the lyrics, it mentions a character known as King Midas of whom is known in Greek mythology. Therefore, I wish to have a costume theme of Ancient Greece. In reflection of what was said in the Vox Pop, about something being unusual and odd grabbing their attention, I wish for my music video to echo this. When thinking about themes of which are weird and wonderful I came across the theme of Alice in Wonderland. Moreover, I wish for the costumes, hair and make-up to represent both a grecian and wonderland style.

This images shown above is a collection of pictures from magazines. The larger image of the woman in the green dress gave me the idea of using natural colours for make-up for the main character, the atist whilst within this other world. All dresses within the collection use material that flows and creates a sense of elegance which is what I am initially thinking for the artist. The image in the top left hand corner of the lower collection of images, represents a possible idea for the creatures within the narrative. The blue of the eyes stand out and she almost looks ghost like.

When thinking about the theme of wonderland and the costume from the Imogen Heap music video 'Goodnight & Go' I began to look at ballerinas. I like the way the underskirts lift up the dress in a way to create a far more fanatasy look about them. Thinking about this, I believe I will use an underskirt for the artist's costume.
