CostumesBy Sorrel Grundy

JacobThe costume for Jacob was inspired by middle

class students. Aspects of Jacobs costume reflects casual smart high street fashion which potential fan of the ages 16-20 will recognise. The regular use of blue matches with the use of water and rain in the music video which contradicts with the title of the music video and song as it is called “Summer Song”.

The grey jumper breaks up the blue and also fits with current high-street fashion as the ‘smart’ look is very popular at the moment. A jumper similar to this is used in the music video “You and I” by One Direction which is a very popular music video and band.

Jeans and especially blue jeans are one of the most common pieces of high-street clothes worn in modern society and so are easily recognisable. It will also make it easier for the audience to relate to the character if they wear similar clothes to them.

SophieThe inspiration for Sophie’s costume came from middle class female students. We tried to reflect the high street fashion of the female potential audience. The use of black was to connote darkness and death which are theme’s in our music video.

The use of a gray t-shirt firstly like in Jacobs costume brings a change in colour as well as connecting the two characters through the use of costume.

The black leather jacket is a statement piece of costume used by many well known artists such as Rita Ora. Black jeans are a common piece of clothing for most 16-24 year olds and have become more and more fashionable in the past few years.
