costume, makeup, location, lighting ideas

This image is all the make-up I used to do Charlie's make-up in my music video. This includes; Brush for eye-shadow and for thinning out eyelashes to make sure there is no clumps. Eye-shadow pallet, Red lipstick, Two black mascaras, black eye-liner, and a pale foundation. I chose to have black eye make-up because more 'Gothic'characters are stereotypically seen as wearing heavy black eye make-up e.g. Taylor Momsen (Lead female singer of rock band 'The Pretty Reckless'). The red lipstick is not only a colour representative of love but also of danger connoting that she is a dangerous girl, this is seen in the music video with her being reckless and daring. It also is a very vibrant colour that matches the colours of the dress she is wearing in this particular part of the video. The pale foundation is because although more 'Gothic' characters have dark eye-make-up they have very pale skin which is seen in many of Avril Lavigne's video's. I used two mascaras to make her eye-lashes slightly bigger so they would make her eyes stand out more from her face along with her lips.

The second picture is a picture of the prop I used/made for part of my music video. I simply got a piece of plain white paper and wrote 'YEAH!' onto it using a black ball point pen. After doing this and looking through the camera lens I noticed that you could not see the text on the piece of paper. This lead me to go over the text in a red felt tip pen. Not only did this show the text very well against the white paper but it can also connote again danger especially with the bold shape surrounding it suggesting an explosion.
