Discussion and Research of Possible Costumes

I wish to portray at least two different social groups within my music video and one way of achieving that is with costume. I have decided that my two main characters will be from two completely different backgrounds, one being a more upper class and comfortable life style and the other a more working class girl who isn't afraid to dress down and break stereotypes for girls.

I also wish to incorporate intertextuality and have chosen both Riverdale and Wes Anderson when incorporating these influences. In Riverdale, the characters often dress in 50's styled clothing despite living in what seems like the modern world, I want to replicate this for my music video to make this influence obvious for the audience i will make clear this is present day although my main character will be dressed and accessorised as if she has walked straight out of the 1950's. To display Wes Andersons influence from movies such as Moonrise Kingdom i want to create contrast with my chosen locations, Anderson is famous for his use of contrast and symmetry, often selecting costumes and location to directly contrast one another. To do this i have had to visit each location, taking pictures and testing different coloured filters, thinking carefully about which colour will make my characters stand out best in each location. 

My final choice for the upper class outfit is 

A chiffon tie-up dress with a floaty length and fabric in a pastel blue colour, this contrasts with the yellow tones of my locations, pastel and bright blues are also often used within Wes Andersons films. This costume reminds me of the character Veronica from Riverdale as her style is classy and vintage much like this dress. To accessorise i think i will pair it with a real pearl necklace and bracelet to emphasise the upper class representation and further link in my intertextuality. 

For my more lower class character i chose to recreate a more grunge, laid back style to emphasise the representation of a non-stereotypical female character who breaks boundaries and dresses how she wants. This rebel attitude i wish to portray is what makes the main character move away from her lavish lifestyle and start rebelling herself.
