Research and planning: Costumes and Props

When considering costumes and props you have take into account if it will fit in with your genre and what kind of representation for example for a rap video generally has a lot of black womem being shown in a sexual nature. Seeing as our genre is indie we are going to have some key features and costumes, firstly we are going to need all the actors to wear skinny jeans and wear jackets as shown in this table below...

As our video genre is going to be indie the video will be a bit different to everyday music videos and will have different conventions, we most likely wont have any props as our video will mostly be filmed in the woods so will be very simplistic and our shots will be based around the scenary, the video below is of 'the kooks naive' this is kind of similar to how we want our video and as you noticed its very simplistic and the costumes are how we want ours with barely any props..
