Costumes and Props

Styling

We looked through the web site 'ASOS' to find styling tips for our actors to wear on the day of shooting, we also picked this website as it is a very popular with our target audience,

Main Boy - Painter
Will be wearing a plain white t-shirt that we will splatter with paint. This will portray his hard work and effort that has gone into the painting of the girl indicating his affection for her. This plain attire will also portray to the audience how he is very ordinary, and very relatable to the audience as just an "average Joe".



Main Girl - Model
We decided to pursue our theme of 'the girl next door' and choose a casual outfit. This is to predominately express her features and express more of her facial features rather than her clothing. We also didn't want to portray a materialistic outlook in our video, so we chose something cute and casual, to further show that she is friendly yet not asking for attention.

Boyfriend - Typical 'Bad Boy'

We wanted to express that he was much more sophisticated than the painter. We decided this due to the fact we wanted to illustrate some form of superiority, and masculinity. Therefore we chose outfits that were much more classy, sophisticated and charming.

 



The Artist and the Boyfriend's actor inspiration both oppose each other. One is a very causal while the other is a particularly masculine look. This is a binary opposition and goes with the representation that Girl's go for the 'Bad Boy' rather than the one that is actually right for them.

Props

We would want the walls to be adorned with past paintings done by the artist. And painting paraphernalia including easels, paint pots, brushes etc.

We also want to include a desk/table into the set design so that when the girls come in for their interview, it seems professional and it works in the environment.

This table may be transferable so that it works in the art style room, it could be cluttered with other arty objects such as vases.

We would need a chair/stool for the model to
sit on, as the artist must draw her.
