Costume Ideas

I have been putting together ideas for costume in the video.  I have settled on an idea of two outfits, which I will wear at different times in the video.

The first costume will be for the character in the present day.  He is wearing a costume which includes hair tyed into a poneytail, a white shirt, and a black hook jacket on top.  This costume will be worn throughout the video when it is set in the present.  It is supposed to represent a sort of aristocratic 'period' kind of look, which will also represent the kind of 'thoughtful' persona the character will have during the present.

Shown in the image above is the white shirt which will be worn underneath the black hook jacket pictured above.  This costume might have connotations of education or wealth which will further flesh out the kind of character he is supposed to be.


The second costume will be worn during the character's memories and flashbacks.  It will consist of a black t-shirt, a black leather jacket, a black spiked belt, black jeans, and sometimes black sunglasses.  The character's hair will also not be tied back but will be worn as normal, with no poneytail.

The image above shows the black leather jacket, black jeans and black spiked belt worn by the character during these moments, which will happen in the flashback scenes.  This costume idea is a lot more 'modern' than the other one, but still has the same gothic connotations the first has, tying them both together.  As opposed to the first costume idea, which will show the character's more 'thoughtful' side, this second costume idea is meant to portray his more 'active' side.  Indeed, most of the 'action' or 'event' based shots will happen in the flashbacks and memories.
