Costume Research

Costumes and props are a part of mise-en-scene and they are really important in representing mood, the scenario and the character's personality. Particularly, in music videos, they resemble a likeness between the lyrics and the story of the music video. Additionally, props and costumes also present conventions of that genre and help to classify the genre. Although, it is often subtle, it does help signify what the artist is trying to portray and the message they are trying to get across.

From our research of the indie-rock genre we found a common colour choice of clothing in the indie-rock genre is black. An example being in the original music of 'Way Down We Go' by Kaleo.

Based on our research we used the colour of black to base our costumes on.
