As my genre is indie, my male lead must be wearing a costume that fits within the genre. These are all clothes that a typical indie male would wear. To make my music video look professional, my lead must fit within my given genre.
As these images have been taken from the internet, I may not be able to use these costumes exactly, but this is just to give me a good idea on what the indie genre clothing is.
The look the lead male will take for one section of my song is smart, but casual. He will be wearing a shirt, black skinny jeans and have roughly messy hair. This will connotate that he cares about his appearance due to the smart shirt, but also wants to be seen as 'cool' and respectable.
Another part of my music video he will be wearing messy clothes, so it represents how he is no longer happy, he no longer cares what he looks, and cannot be happy and look good.
Examples of clothing within this genre are as follows:
Ben Montague: Another Hard Fall
Leather jackets, black boots, black skinny jeans, and a plain white T-shirt is used within this music video. These pieces of clothing are very effective, and suit the artist well. They make him look casual, but also smart, which is typical of this genre. The hair is another thing to pick up on is that, it is very styled, and into a quiff shape, which could also be another convention of this genre.
Arctic Monkeys: Why'd you only call me when you're high?
Like Ben Montague, Alex Turner is also wearing a leather jacket, black boots, and black skinny jeans. Alex however is wearing a plain black t-shirt, In the picture below, the other band members of Arctic Monkeys are wearing similar costume, and are all wearing dark T-shirts. Two t-shirts are plain, so this could also be something I should consider when thinking about connotations of my music video.
