why i chose two main character.
i choose freya and Oscar to be the entirety of the shots that have been taken in order to represent the loneness and sombreness of the music video also considering the lyrics in context, i also wanted to base it and try to use intimate parts of the body like hands, lips, eyes, neck, and lips to almost illustrate and present the loneness.
​
another reason i decided to try film just two people, is through the fact that it will drive your focus as an audience directly on them as everything around the character is black or plain there is no signs of anything else besides light, i did this in order to symbolise mental health and the idea of being completely isolated as if your becoming your best friend, the red lights contrasting the black background are symbolic in the way that these lights
for inspiration on the theme of simplicity and femininity, i wanted something that would distracted the audience from the character but flatter the character itself, so i chose something simplistic yet fitting such as a silk black dress, just the fact that its silk and not a cloth or any other material makes it seem extremely elegant and almost eye-catching to the audience.
​
​
For the makeup, i decided again on the idea of simplicity, to show something that would highlight the actual character and decided on simple sultry makeup
for inspiration on the theme of contrasts for oscar i decided that it was best to wear something that stood out and is completely the opposite of the idea of freya's simplisity and elegents and decided on wearing a canavas biker jacket with blue and white and wearing cargos as well
​
for makeup and or special effects, i decided tthat he himself would not need any as he already has unique features suchas his eyes and his jawlines
•Did you find or source any special clothes or costumes for your characters?
the dress itself was owed already by Freya, the jacket we have for Oscar, was bought and thrifted at the parade before the shoot, but mainly there was no special special clothes or costumes for this project it was based on the vibe so the jacket was put on for trial and then kept through the music video
​
•Did you create or get someone else to create make-up for your characters?
there was no makeup used in the video at all, just bare faced throughout
​
•Did you find, create or source any props used in your video?
the only props we used was bought flowers which we boughted from sainsburys
​
•Did you find, create or source any special dollies or camera supports etc?
the only thing i had to end up buying are extra tripods for the use of the digital camera.
