Chosen Outfits and Why

Main singer: I play the part of the main singer, the group all decided that I should be wearing a big winter coat, that is in fashion, and also a big scarf. This is to get the feeling of cold and bitter air, because the song is sad and about heart break, which is instantly associated with cold, and bad weather, therefore we are going to play on these well known attributes.

Single girl: This is going to be played by Francesca. As this is the person you see most of in the video, she will have a lot of outfit changes to make the video seem more realistic, that the events in the narrative are happening over a period of time, but also that we can get a mixture of fashion in the video, as it is a pop video and from our research we can tell that up to date fashion is very important in the pop genre.

Main Boy: This is going to be played by Jack. Again as he is seen quite a lot he will have quite a few outfit changes to show again modern fashion and also that the narrative is happening over a period of time. As Jack is the only male in the video, however 2 main girls we wanted him to stand out a lot more therefore we have used clothing to do this for example, patterned Jumpers.

Girlfriend: This role is going to be played by Isobel. This character out of the 4 is probably seen the least, however she is key to the story and still has 2 outfit changes to show that time is passing. However we want to make the characters very different of the single girl and the girlfriend to show their differences and how things didn't work out right between the single girl and the boy however it did with the boy and the girlfriend, and this is because of their differences. For example we want to make the girl friend a lot more of a stereotypical girly girl, wearing dresses and skirts whereas we are putting our single girl in jeans and thick cardigans.

Filming the Video

On 30th of October as a group we went up to London to film our video, we completed all our filming over the whole day, and included most of the locations we talked about before going on this trip in our videos. Here are some images of us filming our video over London.

We also used a tripod for some of our shots to make them very steady.
