Our costumes all relate to the characters image but also to the position the character is in, in the video. The colors of our costumes also relate to the characters. There is a heavy symbolic relation from character to costume.
We have all agreed individually who will wear what and the meaning behind it.
Matt: Matt will be wearing a black jacket as he is the chaser of Keir (main performer). Black being the colour of death and darkness it is quite clear as to why he is the one chasing . Matts image is not set out to be vicious but a subtle message. We wanted to make it clear that matt wasn't there for any friendly reason with out being extreme as to why he was following keir.
Ethan: Ethan will be wearing a white top with casual jeans and retro trainers. Ethan is the guitar player and the lead vocalist. He is wearing white as he is the watcher of Keir (the vocalist being chased). Ethan represents an angel who is over seeing the events of Kiers life. His white hoody is the main link to his metaphorical meaning. As it is an ‘underground’ music genre we wanted to keep it urban but still to stick to the narrative of our video.
Keir: Keir is wearing a grey tracksuit top as the grey clothing shows us he is stuck in limbo. His constant chase shows us he is running from matt but also that he is running from life and death. Grey being the neutral color of black and white should hopefully make the viewer realize he is a victim. Stuck in the transition of life and death leaving him left confused in a state of limbo.
