MAKEUP PROPS AND HOW COSTUMES MAY VARY...




This is  costume  we are wearing in our video when the characters are portraying the darker side of youth showing their rebel and dark side. The costume shows how the younger generation is portrayed in the media. We chose a red mask because red symbolizes danger. We chose to wear mask to hide our identity.

We chose to wear black because the colour black conveys invisibility,  the unknown. Creating mystery.  The media portrays the youth as rebellious, disrespectful, aggressive. They show young people in a negative way. We all wore black to show how the media portray youth.

In our video we will have a group of young people wearing all black with mask, making them look like a collective all look the same. Showing no individuality. Then they will take off the black clothes and mask dressed as themselves, we want to show that the media only shows one side of young people, we aren't the same and we never will be. We have our own voices, styles and views of society. 



We decided to include the baseball bat and the knuckle buster because to portray  how teens as reckless and short tempered. Not thinking about consequences for using these harmful objects. 



While we are filming other parts of the video, the costume will change, the characters will be wearing more hipster like clothes. As shown in the pictures. We choose these clothes because in our areas we have chosen to film this is what typically people wear. And looking at dance videos this is the costume they wear so we have decided to follow this convention. 

We have decided to use skateboards and roller skates as a prop. 



In our video the characters will be wearing minimal make-up. We don't want to focus on beauty or anything around the topic. We want the characters to look like everyday young people. The picture demonstrates what we are talking about.
