Costume/ Make Up

Here is our original actress who we intended to use, however due to other commitments she was unable to take part in our music video. She was still happy to model for us some of the costumes and make up we want to use! These photos are very indie and girly, which is something we want to get across in our video. The make up is minimal giving a natural look, and the dresses are bright and colourful, reflecting her personality.

Album Cover Research

We started researching some album covers to give us inspiration for our ancillary tasks. These album covers inspire us because they hold the vibe that we want to create: kooky and original.  We love the layering of mediums (eg scrapbook and photo montage) and the vintage feel. They all are simple, yet engaging to the eye and this is something that we aspire to do. We are going to experiment with incorporating The Beach Boys logo into our album cover/poster. We understand that it will be hard to create a modern album cover for a old song, however it is timeless and iconic meaning we have a wide target audience to market for which excites us! We have researched both modern artists and vintage artists, and we can see similar codes and conventions in both and we now understand that these conventions are important to follow, giving us some structure to our work.
