Costumes

For Izzy's costumes we are going for a theme of red to connote danger, passion and madness. For the fantasy scenes she is going to be wearing a red dress and for the outdoor scene she will be wearing a red coat, this way we create a visual distinguishing feature between the real Izzy and the masked ones.

The masked Izzy's will be dressed in full black to keep a sense of mystery and also to connote mystery and bleakness which is the mental state of our male character as he is being haunted by the multiple fake Izzy's. The inspiration for these masked nightmares came from some of my favourite videos by Chris Cunningham with Aphex Twin because they are so creepy and scary which was the atmosphere I was going for. (see Aphex twin below)



For Tamas' outfit we are going to be dressing him in skinny jeans and a polo shirt which follows the popular culture in fashion making him just one of the many that dress like this in so doing creating an anonymous character that could be seen as anybody. The song is indie/rock and that is the sort of outfit that would be worn by the fans as this type of music is mainstream. As you can tell from the two pictures below the band is of the same style as Razorlight so we have based the image around their style.

This sort of fashion is sold at shops like Topman and H&M mens and is the current fashion in mens clothing here are a few examples from http://www.topman.com/

This is an example of the type of straight leg/skinny jean that we will be using in our music video along with this type of polo shirt which are quite anonymous so our character fades into the background like a ghost.

This Polo shirt is very popular with many different fashion styles and so we are appealing to a wider demographic. and as it is bland it connotes the blankness that is left in his life now he cannot find the woman.

Update: We are no longer using masks of Izzy's face because they look cheap and tacky, also we have thought of a better narrative where one of the main characters is a ghost; so the explanation about Aphex twin is irrelevant.
