Costumes

Locations – MY HOUSE  We did filming within my house as this is a

relatable setting for the audience as its an everyday house and they said they preferred everyday settings.

 We also did filming in my back garden again

this is because it is relatable for the audience.

EAST TOWN PARK  East Town Park is known for couple taking long

and romantic walks and spending time together, therefore I picked this location to represent this.

kedington ď‚„ Kedington is a village that is about 10 minutes away from

Haverhill so it was quite easy to get there by car. ď‚„ I chose this location, again because it is a relatable setting,

however it is less relatable than the house as nearly everyone lives in some kind of house. ď‚„ I filmed on the outskirts of Kedington because there are

farmer fields and couples tend to go for walks along there.

This made Olivia and Michaels relationship seem more believable as they were doing things that couples do together.

cOSTUMES  There were different costumes used by the actors, this was to show

different times in their relationship. Olivia wore more fashionable clothing than Michael as girls/women tend to be more fashionable.  Olivia wore a coat, blue jeans, high heeled boots and had simple

make up. The heeled boots made her slightly taller than Michael therefore this created the idea of her having the power within the relationship. Also because her clothing was more fashionable it created the idea of her having more money as she could afford the newest clothes out whereas he couldn’t.  Her next outfit is mainly black too show her dark side, however her

top has flowers on it just to show the girly side of her aswell.  Michael’s costumes are both not fashionable, he is wearing a

hoodie, t-shirt, jeans and trainers in the first part and than a shirt and jeans in the second part. This is to show that he is weak.

props  There are many props within my video, such as candle, burner,

wine bottles, beer cans, and wine glasses. This is to create the idea of relying on alcohol when in a bad place, which is shown as they have an argument and then Michael is drinking throughout the rest of the video.  I also used these props to connect to the lyrics for example the

red wine in the wine glass is use when the lyrics say ‘sipping on red wine’ this creates emphasis on the lyrics.

MICHAEL  This is one of my main actor, his name is Michael Knight and

he is 15 years old. He studies at Samuel Ward Academy.

 I chose for him to wear this clothing because it is a smart-

casual look and is reasonably fashionable. His clothing is also bright compared to what the other actor will be wearing. This is so it goes with the storyline.

 His other costume again is really

causal because young men do not Tend to dress smartly.

I didn’t want Michael wearing expensive clothing because stereotypically the woman wears more expensive clothing and It also can show how Olivia is controlling hi,

Olivia hALPIN  Olivia is my other main character, she is the controlling

girlfriend. She fits this role really well as she is a good actor and does not mind shouting at Michael.  She is 17 years old and is in the sixth form at Samuel Ward

Academy.  Olivia’s costumes are dark clothing to show that she is a

dark character and she is controlling. It also makes Michael look weaker as dark is a macho and powerful colour unlike blues and greens.
