Prop and Costume List

Make up Trial:

I decided to experiment with various different make styles in order to see which ones would be effective with certain scenes and costumes. The more natural make up is the look we are aspiring to use in the more natural settings eg in the park and on the road side. Whereas the more creative and outrageous styles will be used for the set up scenes when using the glitter and paint against the plain backgrounds. I think using different make up styles it will make the video more exciting and avoid viewer fatigue as it will give the audience something different when the location changes.

I created a prop and costume list so whilst filming we know what props, costumes and make up to take to which locations. By having this table we will be well organised which will create more time for filming. 

This will be our first costume which will be seen in the park location shots, we feel this is an effective costume as it brings a more natural, country side feel to the music video which is one of the conventions that is typical of an Ellie Goulding music video. This look will come in complete contrast to the other costumes that will be seen in the video, this will avoid viewer fatigue and allow them to have various different costumes to look at.

This is another desired look for the music video, however a sequined dress and heels will be worn during the white background shots. By having an exciting and exaggerated outfit it will disguise the fact that there is a low key background, drawing all the attention to the performer and what they are wearing. This is also in high contrast to the first outfit, this more glamorous and party like outfit shows the more classy and dazzling side to the indie pop genre.

This image (by Gemma Flinders) shows similar props that will be involved in our video, the props will work well with the cotumes. They are also brightly coloured and associated with positive aspects therefore they will bring a good feel to the video. We have over come problems of not having props eg the bike, by writing an email and forwarding it to a teacher who could then send it to the whole school. We received some positive feedback and now have a students bike available for us to use.
