Planning - Costuming

Jack Taylor - Lead Singer and Guitarist

Jacks outfit will consists on a white t-shirt with some kind on pattern on it. Then with a red checked shirt over the top with buttons undone. He’ll wear black skinny jeans with black vans.

The casual clothing of jeans, t-shirts and a shirt shows them to being a working class, where as Alfie outfit is smartly dressed that suggest that he is upper class. 

The use of this outfit will involve many of the themes of the genre and what an audience would expect. Also the fact our actor is the perfect style for our video should make the outfit look natural on him and compliment the music voice and dull themes of the song.

We chose red as the theme of the album is a murder and the song is a bit of a love tale. For that reason we chose jack to be in red as it keeps him in touch with his romantic side as he gets angry and goes through the narrative.

Alfie Bradbury - Bass Guitar

Alfie our bass guitarist will wear a white shirt with a black tie and a black zipped up hoddie with it undone. He will also wear black skinny jeans with white converse. 

We decided having Alfie wearing a tie he is dressed as our more upper class band member. this is again a common theme amongst a group of young men. One member is often a more stylish and proper member who enjoys dressing in smart clothing but wears it in his own style. The use of the jacket and unbuttoned shirt at the top will replicate this. This stays in touch with the common themes. We chose Alfie to have the posh look as the singer is often setting a relaxed trend and the drummer often wears minimal clothing as it restricts movement of the instrument. So we naturally went with Alfie for this reason.

Josh Graham - Drummer

Josh, who is the drummer his outfit will be black skinny jeans and a black top and black trainers. 

The reason behind josh’s clothing choice is because drums are a backing piece, also on josh’s t-shirt he will wear a band name which is important to show our influences and attract older generations. Such an influence is important to convey the right image. This costume was between a vest or a t shirt as drummers often wear minimal clothing due to the nature of the instrument being very active. This influence affecting our choice. Yet we stayed with the t shirt due to the slow pace of the song where as a faster more active song would of seen a vest due to the increased practicality that it offers. In this genre this is something the band would consider and affects their clothing choice.
