Costumes and Props

Costumes
For our music video, we don't have any specific character costumes needed, our clothing for our protagonist instead needs to fit in with the genre of the music video, which is Indie Pop.

In the hospital scenes, we decided we wanted the clothing to be as plain and generic as possible, so that the audience would focus more on the actor's facial expressions, and the scenery would become enhanced. In this scene our protagonist will simply wear black jeans, a white t-shirt and black shoes.

For our field/forest scenes we are able to be a little more creative with our wardrobe choices, however because our genre is Indie Pop we cannot have any bright colours that may not look right amongst the low-key lighting and dull colour palette of our video. Therefore our protagonist will wear monochrome colours like black and white, but the outfit will be a little less plain then the hospital scene.

Props
Our props for our music video are very important, especially in the hospital scene. We are relying on props to set the scene, and show the audience that the scene is taking place in a hospital. We are planning to use:

• Rubber gloves (doctors/nurses gloves)
• Stethoscope
• Syringe
• Doctors watch
• Paper and pen (suggests doctors notes)
• Other clinical tools
• Movable curtains
• Hospital bed (made from a table, white sheet and a pillow)

There are no other props in any other scenes, as in the scenes in the forest and fields we want the focus to be more on our protagonist and her inner struggle, whereas the hospital scenes we want to have the other actors also be the focus and the scenery to become part of the focus too.
