Actor and Costumes

Our chosen actor was based upon the criteria that we felt would fit in with our story boards, which is someone who is aesthetically good looking and quirky, also someone who is feminine but edgy. With this criteria we chose Emily Jeffery, she is perfect for our brief as she does performing arts and will not be afraid to "act" out what we would want for our music video and to make it the best that it can be. Her profile is tall, skinny, she has dark hair and a tattoo, however she has a very versatile look meaning we can adapt her to whatever style we want her to look like. Naturally she is a fiery character which will link to our feminism research of her having the "upper hand" in the situation we want to highlight in our video. Overall we believe as a group that this is the best choice we could have made. 

The costume which we are going for is very edgy and classy although bordering on trashy. We have tried to make it "fashion Vs art", with the character being a prostitute/escort. We didn't want to make it completely trashy, it then becomes more artistic, which will link to our experiences of being art students. We will be dressing our actor in one outfit in the whole of the video, changing only her make-up and hair. The outfit we have chosen are low denier tights, short skirt/dress, low cut top and platform heels, all in either black, grey or red, which is our chosen colour scheme.
