I began to look for possible costume results with Georgie, since we want to order two, in order to save one and destroy another, the dresses can't be overpriced or difficult to destroy. We had certain requirements, they need to be pink and fit the style and dress of the 2000s era we're inspired by. WE also want to be inclusive to all the members of our band, so we need to ensure they're accommodating to multiple different body types.
Here are some of the dresses I found while researching:
This week, we had a meeting with our set designer, Fran, who walked us through the ins and outs of our set, she recommended cutting down some things to lessen complications and de-clutter the set, for instance, the wardrobe and bedside table are no longer going to be on the set at all, she also requested a list that she could use in order to find what we wanted.
First, we created a visual setlist, with pictures included:
Second, we created an actual list which she could use to see exactly what she needed:
This is my contribution to the overall storyboard we created as a group, we each took a portion of the work, some wanted to do writings, some drew, and some did a little of both. I drew these 6 pages, Tegan Howard wrote the descriptions, and we worked together to create an entire finalized storyboard.
Here is my contribution:
In order to further our previous ideas about costumes and clothing we plan to dress the band members in, I drew up a few sheets of possible dress designs. Here are the pages I drew up, as you can see, I've drawn both the prom dresses before being destroyed and after, as well as possible ideas for the "normal clothing" costumes we plan to dress them in our final set-up. I was sure to keep in mind the era in which we plan to set this, heavily inspired by early 200s fashion and what sorts of styles would look best, we decided as a group that we would rather have the band in floor-length prom dresses to make them seem more formal and uniform, this also simply becomes easier when we plan to destroy them, as there is more material to work with.
Here are the sheets:
Over the week, When seeing members of our band, I took pictures of them in their costumes on Wednesday, and throughout the week, in order to be able to have content to upload to the social media we will eventually create, here are some of the pictures I took:
This is the edited footage from our first rehearsal. We aimed to familiarize the band with not only each other and begin to explore their own dynamics, but also to create a performance with the four of them together. Here is the footage I edited:
In order to further develop our concept, we assigned ourselves some targets in order to plan and organize our idea further. We were hyper-aware that our idea has the potential to become "cheesy" "cliche" or seem artificial, and so in order to combat this, we thought of multiple ideas and actions the band could do in order to create variety within our video.
Here's what we did:
Our product, a music campaign for a band, consisted of an all-female pop-rock group called “the Michelles”. This band was represented singul...
