Why we chose our various costumes

Firstly, with the first red garment we made our choice due to the fact that it appeared elegant and provocative, similar to the costume choices of similar artists such as Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift (shown below)




We then chose dresses that were fitting, as shown in a previous post, we decided we would go for this red dress, which looked the most elegant and fitting of the genre. In addition to this, because it was to be part of our red colour scheme, it had to fit the mood and tone set by the colour, which we believed to be passionate and violent. Therefore I believe that the dress is most apt, as it displays both passion and elegance.

We also did research into white dresses, as that was just as important to our video as the red dresses. We wanted to encapsulate the conventions associated with white; purity, innocence, good, e.g. below


But, whilst still being similar to the costumes of similar artists, e.g. Taylor Swift below, with a white dress with a light pink hue.


 

We ended up choosing the below dress as we felt that it was similar to what similar popstars would wear, whilst being conservative and portraying a sense of innocence.
