Costume Design - Actors.

I've search the internet to gather examples of the costume I am going to provide my actors with.There is one costume design for the male actor as he will not have a costume change on set. There is two costume designs for the female actor as she will need a costume change for certain shots.I decided to use symbolism in my music video such as the use of red & white.Red usually symbolises aggression and passion, whereas white symbolises purity or innocence.

The female actor will be dressed in a red dress and wearing red lipstick with a red mask over her eyes for most of the point of view shots in my video to represent the way her boyfriend is portraying her in his head (seeing her as evil but still feeling passion for her & love). In rest of the shots, the female actor will be dressed in casual clothing such as shorts & a jumper. There will be still elements of passion and love and anger in her casual costume such as her red lipstick and ribbon in her hair.

The male character will be dressed in a white t-shirt, symbolising his purity and his innocence - showing he's the victim in the story, being cheated on by his girlfriend. He will also be dressed in blacks & greys to symbolise his feelings (depressed, sad, disappointed) and also to show the differences between the two personalities in the story.
