Costume

When it came to deciding what the band members would be dressed in various ideas came into mind, however some proved difficult or other complications meant it then wasn't achievable. 

When we first decided we would be filming in the woods we had various ideas of what we would like the band to wearing. One very unique idea we had was inspired by Dario G-Sunchyme we thought of perhaps having the band members in woodland animals. This would give something for the audience to remember when viewing it and are likely to go back to it and show friends it. The image below gives you an idea of the type of image we wanted this would also show the creative side of the group. Also below is the video which inspired us.

However when it came to discussing with the band what they would be wearing at their live gig they said they would be dressed in halloween themed outfits due to it being a halloween themed gig. This became a problem for us as we wanted the video to flow and two extreme costume changes could be confusing for the viewer. So we decided to progress from this looking at ideas which could flow, we decided to have a go at face painting a skeleton as an experiement.We thought that this looked really effective so we asked the band members to wear blank so we could then paint their faces and this would then flow from the gig to the woodland scenes.
 

Once again there were further complications which came along with this, the band were not willing to wear black and have their face painted as they said it wasn't the vision they had for their music video and it doesn't fit the bands image. So on the day of filming in the woods they wore casual clothing which fitted the genre also the colours they were wearing stood out as well as matched the colours of the leaves which were on the woodland floor. So this actually turned out to work well and it wasn't a total diaster and when watching the footage the contrast of colours including the leaves and clothing worked really well as you can see from the images.

The other area of filming was the firework scene, however the band weren't there for this scene it was simply just friends which we asked to dance around the bonfire. So they were dressed in casual clothing, mostly warm clothing such as hats, scalfs and gloves. This will link to the woodland scene due to showing what time of year it is, however any people are silloettes meaning you can't really see what they are wearing.
