Music Video {Making of The Monster}

Monster Making Times Lapse:

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. 

During the mask making process, Connie decided that during the process of creating the mask she would record herself in order to create a time lapse video to show the documentation of our music video. 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.

I personally think this idea was one of our strongest as it allows us to look back at the process of our creation and allow us to reflect more on what we could have done better if we had more time and expenses. If we had more time we could have create a full costume instead of just a mask, feet and arm gloves; we could have also added extra details to each of these components.

Mask:

If we had extra time with the mask, we would have changed the strap on the mask in order for it to sit nicely on the face as we just used the strap that was originally on the mask which was too big for Emily so she had to tuck it behind her ears so it would balance and sit more realistically. 

Feet: For the feet if we had more time we would have sewed the fur on instead of making do with staples as the fur fabric was too thick for the fabric and kept breaking as Emily was walking through various scenes.

Gloves: If Connie had the chance to redo the gloves she would have also used gloves as the hands instead of making them from scratch and having to paint the fingers. This would be a lot easier as we wouldn't have used up time painting the hands and waiting for it to dry.

Here are some of the materials that were used for the construction of the costume. Some of the materials Connie already had at home so we didn't have to worry about buying some things; the things Connie already had fake teeth and some brown tights that she used as hands. Everything else was bought from charity shops and sewing shops in nuneaton and came to around £8 each.
