Above is a moodboard of the sort of costume and props my male characters will be wearing. Overall, I want all my characters wearing quite dull, muted colours to reflect their mood. In the male costumes, I feel a shirt and trousers is an effective, simple outfit. Monotone or dark, muted colours (such as wine or greyish khaki) will suit the outfit and the characters best.
For the 'weird' character played by my actor, Zak, I considered accessories including a bow tie and a pair of glasses to give him a more 'geeky' and eccentric appearance.
For the 'heartbroken' character played by my actor, Sohrab, I will need matches and a picture for him to burn, as part of my video involves shots of him burning a picture of him and the girl who supposedly broke his heart.
The model character, played by my actor Philippa, will need two outfits. In the moodboard above, I have provided a selection of dresses that give the vibe I am aiming for with outfit 1. As the character will be in a photoshoot, my actor will be in a bright dress. I want to show the contrast between the vibrancy of her costume during the photoshoot and the plainness of her costume when she has come home and taken her make-up off. The crop top and shorts are simple in both colour and style, therefore highlighting how vulnerable and stripped back the character is.
The shopaholic character will, like the other female, have two outfits. One of which will reflect her unhappiness with her appearance and the other will portray her need for material things. Above is a selection of tops, trousers and dresses to give an indication of the colours and styles of the clothes I want my actor to wear.
For the performer, Nick, I have used my research into the artist himself as inspiration. Justin Timberlake's style as matured since the start of his solo career in 2002. He now has a very smart, slightly vintage style. I also took influence from the name of his song 'Suit and Tie' which was the single that preceded Mirrors. Therefore, I hope to style my performer in a suit.
