R+P Post 25: Costumes, props, and make-up

COSTUMES:

We decided the type of costume we were going to go for is the smart/casual look mixed with a pastel aesthetic.

We decided that we would convey the dream in the narrative by having a separate set of costumes for each character when they are in the dream. Additionally, the dream costumes would portray each of the band members as their alternative character. For example, Guy Chapman wearing the outfit of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat when in the dream sequence. As for the band costumes, we decided to follow a similar aesthetic to that of Echosmith.  The feedback we got from our target audience when asked about the band costumes included"the costumes make the band look like they belong together", which is definitely something we wanted to achieve.

OUR FINISHED COSTUMES:

PROPS:

We made a prop list based on the different set ups we planned for our music video, then decided who in the group would take responsibility for each prop. I was in charge of making the slot machine, bringing the Gameboy and blanket. We chose to make most of the props from the dream because it continues our hand-made aesthetic, and saves a lot of money.

MAKE-UP:

We decided to go for minimal make-up, but decided on similar looks to go for. We then gave our make-up artist references to use when doing our make-up.
