Costumes for our music video

Our Costume:
For our music video, we plan on following the conventions of the genre and dressing in a smart-casual way.

We will require that all actors (aside from the girl in the photo) wear jeans or chinos in our music video. This is because these items of clothing are seen as fairly casual but at the same time they are not too casual to be seen as cheap.

For the top half of our costume in our music video, we will look at dressing in a fairly smart manner but not too smart as dressing in an office-style is not the conventional fashion for the indie-rock genre. We will perhaps look at wearing a smart shirt but with another piece of clothing to take the 'too smart' look away from it. Some examples of this dress sense would be to wear a plain t-shirt with a blazer, a shirt with a loose tie, a plain t-shirt with an open shirt over the top or we could wear a smart shirt with a neck-scarf to 'loosen up' the smart look a little.

The shoes that we plan on wearing have to be quite smart to fit in with this look, so trainers and running shoes are out of the question. The best shoes to wear would be smart black or brown shoes but for the narrative part of our music promo, this may not be possible as we do not want to mess up smart shoes so we may have to wear typically smart-casual shoes like converse or chinos. We could vary between smart 'office-type' shoes and the more smart-casual shoes in the narrative and performance.
