For my music video I will have two main characters seen in the photos below. I have two costumes for each of the characters in my music video and thought I would describe why I chose these and what they mean within the video as costume is a major part of mise-en-scene.
My male main character is a 18 years old. In the first part of the video he is seen to be wearing darker clothes as the mood reflects the tone of the video. In the latter half of the video I chose to have my male character wear a shirt and tie as he is supposedly having just been to work, however I did not want his look to be too clean and sharp as this is all supposed to be happening in his head so chose to have his shirt un-tucked and front button undone in both of the costumes.
My female character, (17 years old) seen below wears similar clothes to my male actor for the first part of the video. Again this helps to reflect the tone, but also I feel this is quite representative of what my target youth audience wears, creating a recognisable character. Her second costume is a white cardigan layered over a white lace dress. This seems to suggest innocence yet I feel with quite an ironic tone as the female character is supposedly toying with the boy and his emotions all the way throughout my video. I am aware that the second costumes for both my characters suggest a wedding vibe however I don't mind this as it again can be seen as ironic as their relationship begins to fail throughout my video.
