Costumes

Girl protagonist- we decided the girl's clothing should be reasonably fashionable but young looking. We did not want to highlight her obsessive/perculiar nature through her clothes, our aim was to make her appear to be an ordinary teenage girl, to be representative of young 'indie types'. But also, we did not want her clothes to stand out greatly so we used items like a plain white t-shirt and jeggings (so still appearing fashionable but not to take the focus away from the narrative). Also the use of the white top was to have an ironic element to the narrative. Symbolic of her 'purity' and 'innocence', audiences may find this somewhat humorous as she is far from innocent, it is a facade she creates.

Boy protagonist- we wanted our audiences to relate to our main boy protagonist so, we dressed him in typical indie attire. He wore skinny jeans (the current fashion of indie types). But, we also wanted him to appear different from the rest, to stand out amongst other boys, so we decided to dress him in shirts as well. This was also important to make clear to audiences how drastically the girl had changed his appearance. By the end of the music video the boy character will be dressed in a plain red t-shirt with spiked up hair, becoming a duplicate of the doll. The red t-shirt is worn as he discovers her secret obsession, and the danger he is about to face.
