Costume: Final Decision For The Artist

Once we'd seen Yasmin in all the possible costumes, it was time to make a decision on what costumes we were going to use.

For the first element, we were pretty certain before we saw the costumes that we'd be happy with it. We very debating whether to have a red dress or playsuit but in the end, we thought about current fashion trends that our target audience would find appealing as well as using the red and black colour scheme.

For the second element we had two choices:

This decision was slightly harder. We liked that the second option was off the shoulder which was a quality that we had planned from quite early on; however, the first option is slightly more figure enhancing which would add to the sex appeal for our secondary target audience. 

Before making the final choice, I remembered that in the photo shoot that we did in order to develop her social media, she was wearing a strapples top meaning that on any of the really close up shots, she looked like she wasn't wearing anything. As our genre is Indie Pop, a convention that we need to adhere to is the use of close ups therefore, the second playsuit would present problems as we think it would be inappropriate to suggest that she's not wearing anything. 

For the third element our main decision was between the cropped tops that she'd wear under the coloured mesh top:

This decision was a lot easier for us to make because it was such a subtle difference. The mesh top will be reflecting red, blue and purple so we didn't want anything else in the costume to distract from this. Therefore, we went for the first option as it's more minimalistic as the second one has a lace pattern.

Here are our final choices:
