sketches.This is a selection of possible costumes. The first costume takes

inspiration from Chicago and the “Cell Block Tango”, the

outfit is sexy and provocative and fits in with the voyeuristic view of women within pop video. The outfit includes a mesh body and fishnet tights.

The second outfit is the outfit my dancer will wear when out of her “fantasy”. The outfit takes inspiration from Flashdance and includes legwarmers and a baggy oversized grey sweatshirt.

The final outfit takes inspiration from Black Swan and the cover art for 50 Shades of Grey. The outfit includes a masquerade mask and either a feather belt, as its more practical to dance in or a black tutu.

I also have ideas for a final costume, which will include white make-up and follows a sci-fi theme, with the dancer dressed in a white leotard.

This is an example of the type of costume I want the artist to wear as the video cross cuts between shots of the dancer and the artist. I want the video to have a vintage theme while being dramatic and appealing to modern audiences.

This costume includes a short sequin dress, which is more available to me compared to the ideal longer version. Make up will include Red Lips and a Vintage Up Do.

The artist will also be holding a short vintage novelty microphone.

For scenes involving the artists, mise-en-scene will include white balloons filled with LED Torches to create the effect of light bulbs. Originally I wanted to use light bulbs but had no idea how to light them. The balloons will also be filled with ‘flour’, so as the video reaches it climax, the dancer

begins to pop them to create a dusty smoky image.

This is an image I want to

use in my music video as

an intertextual reference to the film

“FlashDance” however instead of water I will use flour

as it’ll make less mess and will be easier to clean up.

This is the location I will use to do all of my filming as it can act as multiple locations

including a performance space and dance studio. I will also take advantage of the professional lighting to create similar lights used in

the image above, from Flashdance, but also

from the film Chicago.
