Performer's and Actor's Costume

These are all the parts of the costume for the band and actors. The band's costume is mainly on the left and the actor's is the five pictures furthest to the right, including cream pocket trousers, hooded blue zip-up jumper, kids jeans and grey jacket, and the white striped shirt. (The white shirt won't be a t-shirt, but will have long sleeves.) 

I have chosen this style of clothing because it reflects the band's image well, as it is the sort of theme which the band would usually follow. It is also a clear link to the genre of music, e.g. if I were to do a rock song, it would be more appropriate to wear black leather, denim jeans that are slightly baggier and thicker make-up for the female singers. But since it is of a worship genre, the band are wearing these clothes and make-up:

Make-Up

The female members of the band (who will be filmed in the bridge/chorus as part of the live Destiny event) will wear little amount of make-up but as they please, because I don't want to give any slight sense of voyeurism, as the song has its own boundaries being popular among Christian viewers and listeners. The music video will also be representing the genre, so it is important if the genre is to be advertised well that it does not put people off through watching this video.

Tight-knit Jumper

This is a common clothing item used by the band, because it is visually attractive and goes well with the rest of the male dress trend.

The male members can choose between these following clothes which is why I suggested them all as potential wears, each with their own unique style but that has links between them, because they all go well with each other, e.g.  plain t-shirts, woolen jumpers, denim tops, skinny jeans, etc.

This jumper is basically available to the band to wear if they wish, because I don't want to put too much pressure on them. Hopefully if they do wear a jumper it will appeal to a young audience.

I am thinking that the lead singer will wear a plain grey t-shirt so he blends with the band more, not looking totally out of place. If he blends in too much, I will ask him to take a denim blue top which gives an option of what would work best.

Not only do I want clothes that reflect the genre and style of the song, but also that look good on the band, because this is all part of reflecting the song and genre in a positive way. Now this isn't too difficult since, the band have worn similar clothes before, but I have to think about the lighting and colours of the lights to see if the clothes will work with them. Therefore I have chosen blue as a general theme for the clothes which the band can work around because blue contrasts well with the reds and yellows that I plan to have in the lighting.

For the actors, I have chosen these particular clothes because they represent the meaning of the narrative, especially through wearing a white shirt, which resembles God the Father as being holy.
