The last word I had on Oliver's costume was that he was going to wear a checked shirt, skinny jeans, a plain jacket (or coat) and boots or brogues. We kept quite closely to this but having met Joe on multiple occasions and been impressed with his own style we allowed him to pick his own clothes from these guide lines. As it reflects the relaxed attitude of the song and the rest of the visuals we were happy with Joe's decision to wear a motif t-shirt, also it went with his other clothes much more and allowed a more subtle look. As Dr. Martens are such an iconic shoe and have a huge connection with rock and indie bands their addition into our video will greatly improve the over all impression Oliver makes on the target audience. The monotone colour scheme reflects not only the slow, almost 'depressed' song but also the dark location. By adding accesories such as hats new focal points are created, making the look a litte bit different. Also that style of hat is really popular and fashionable right now!
Liana played the waitress again and we kept to our ideal outfit of very plain clothing. She wore white trousers and a grey cardigan, which I felt was close to that of a waitress and it mad her look a bit and drab and miserable.
I wore what I had suggested after our draft. I felt a balck lace dress would be much more relevant and fashionable and it works well against Joe's outfit, but to inject some colour and femininity I accesorised with a purple bow.
Our 'flower' girl was originally supposed to wear a tweed jacket and a scarf but we had decided that we'd like her to wear a coat like Oliver is. She infact had a yellow duffle coat, though the wrong colour is a slight reference to Submarine. Much like Dr. Martens a duffle coat is an extremely iconic item and I think it fits well with the indie look.
