Costume

Another important element for my video is costume. 

If I don't tell my talent what I want them to wear they could all turn up wearing different styles meaning that my video will look messy and unorganised. 

In order to give me some ideas I looked at other bands to see what kind of outfits they were on stage.

Don Broco

Don Broco always go for smart casual. They combine shirts, polo shirts or t-shirts with jeans and trainers to create an informal yet presentable look. When they perform they run around a lot and, as you can see in the photo below, jump and go pretty mental. The clothes they wear allow them to do this with ease. 

The Strypes

The Strypes are a band who go for smart clothes. They always wear smart jeans or trousers paired with a shirt and jacket and brogues or loafers. They don't move around as much compared to Don Broco which their clothes wouldn't allow them to do anyway. 

Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys go for a more edgy look. Their look could be classed as smart casual but it's definitely on the smarter side. They chose to wear jeans, brogues, shirts or t-shirts and leather or denim jackets. They move around a lot on stage which their outfits allow them to do and although they must get hot in their jackets they don't remove them as they don't want to ruin the atmosphere that they give.

I want my talent to be able to move as much as possible and go a bit mad as I feel it will fit in more with the song I have chosen. Therefore, I want them to go with the Don Broco/Arctic Monkeys style of jeans, a shirt or t-shirt and possibly a jacket. I feel that by having them looking smart casual it will fit in with my style of video and help it to look professional.
