Clothing

In this blog post I will be looking at the styling options for my music video

Outfit Number One

This top is a handmade embroidered mesh top, which would be styled with a black skirt that would be unseen in my close ups / mid shots. My chosen song, Young and beautiful, has a theme of loneliness which I feel like is well represented in dark clothing. The sensitive and slow nature of the song, means that I will be using lots of intimate- close angles, which I think will nicely showcase the embroidered detail. 

Outfit Number Two

Outfit number two is a gold and black play suit- I intend for it to be worn solely for the bridge of the song. The color gold has connotations of high status and glamour. The song Young and beautiful was originally taken from Baz Luhrmann's 'The great Gatsby', a film about a rich man who throws parties solely to reconnect with his lover. I have taken this origin into consideration, by styling clothing that are in keeping with a glamorous narrative. 

Outfit Number Three

The artist herself inspired my third styling option. I followed her vintage styling conventions, by choosing a floral wide cuffed blouse, complete with a delicate frill. I thought this would be a suitable styling option because it is in keeping of my theme of dark clothing, whilst still channeling Lana through the old fashioned pattern on the blouse.
