Further Costume Ideas

Our first idea was to involve fruit costumes in our video. After planning our storyboards (Which will be up soon) we’ve decided that we are going to stick with the idea of fruit.

I completed a questionnaire as seen in an earlier post, I managed to narrow down our target audience to a precise age group and intellectual group, from this information I then asked a select group of individuals that fell into our category. I ask each of them if they knew the song itself, and then told them our idea of having actors in fruit costumes for our music video. I received a positive response from the audience that I asked.

Breaking down the costumes

Below are all pictures of each fruit, these are not pictures of our actual outfits, but are similar to what we hope to purchase.

Banana Outfit - We have already arranged to get this banana outfit from a friend. This outfit pictured is not the exact outfit we will be getting but they all follow the same style.

Orange Outfit – Our second idea was to have an orange outfit, another fruit costume. We are going to have a total of four actors who we are friends with and have asked to act for us. We are going to have to buy this outfit as we do not have any friends or family that we could loan one off.

Apple Outfit – Same situation as the Orange, we will have to buy this outfit, something that arose when looking at costumes was that all costumes vary in length both the arms and legs. To combat this we've decided the actors will wear black tights on their legs and black long sleeved tops, this will create a less fleshy-human look and will leave just the colour of the fruit itself standing out.

Melon Outfit – This is the last outfit we will be having in our film, same situation also applies for this outfit, we will have to buy it with our own money. After the filming we plan to sell on the outfits to make back a bit of our money.

Below are pictures of each of the outfits we intend on getting. Hope you like our outfits, if you’ve any suggestions we would like to hear them! Or you can just tell us if you like them or not.



Thanks,

Ian
