Costumes for our music video

Leather jackets have been known in r'n'b as mostly worn by men but in our music video we are letting both characters wear leather jackets.
Leather jackets also carry layers of symbolic meaning acquired through their various appearances in popular culture. Furthermore, their undeniable animalistic, tactile nature makes them very intimate and emotionally charged to wear. Leather are basically used in music videos to make the characters seem cool, stylish and fashionable. They also have connotations of rebellion. For example in the film Grease, a certain group called the T-birds in grease wear the leather jackets to show rebelliousness and a sense of power as if they rule the town.

The hat is also used to show style and fashion. Our characters in our music video are going to be wearing hats because it will be cold and also it shows style and we really want to show that in our music video.

The sorts of costume we would need are casual ones. As we would be filming our video in the winter months, we would need clothes that matched the environment for each our characters.

The drawings below were done on Paint.

This drawing is of the boy's costume. A black coat or hoody will show that this is a teenager, drawing in our target audience, who are young and listen to R'n'B. A hat may add to this, emphasising the point that this is a young man. Blue baggy jeans and black shoes complete this look.
