Music Video {Monster Costume Planning}

Due to our group decided upon the music idea of 'The Wombats - I only wear Black' which focus' upon a monster and having a true narrative; this idea was one of the ideas that I preferred from the start as the narrative we created for the song was to have a monster who finds happiness and how we find our inner happiness.

I love the fact that they start of as a monster who feels like he isn't accepted within society because they have no inner happiness, they are always sad and going through every day life with sadness instead of happiness. I like the fact that this idea has a simple narrative that is expanded upon throughout the duration of the music video and shows someone growing as a person. We also decided that Emily is going to be the monster for our video as she doesn't get embarrassed easily and was happily willing to become the monster.

For the costume planning myself and Connie took a trip into Nuneaton and scouted through various shops that were mostly charities shops because they are very affordable, we managed to find many items that we could use for the costume. The items including 1 metre long fur material, fur scarf, brown masks, eyes, wool and a pair of shoes. 

Connie decided that she would like to create the final costume as she thinks she will do a good job due to her being very creative, I personally think she will do the best job as she has created various things like this previously.

Items we found:

Items we brought:

Overall, we spent £24 on the monster costume which worked out at only £8 each due to some of the items being pricey but the quality in them were outstanding. I am quite pleased with what we purchased and I can't wait for the process of creating to begin, to document the process of creating Connie is going to set up a camera and record it to create a time lapse of the process.
