As my music video doesn't have dialogue, and they generally don't have, I had to think about the appropriate characters to mold to the visuals of Sevdaliza's song, only though image rather than conversations and character development. I needed two girls, in order to portray the positive and negative of femininity, and one boy to be the one mesmerised by the girl. To play the positive side of femininity I chose Francesca, who played last year in my film opening too, as the hallucination. She helped me create the look I wanted, as she is a talented dancer and moves graciously, being able to show her femininity. As for her costumes, she will have three: the first one will be a black crop top and black leggings, not having anything distracting from her dancing (i.e. patterns of unique clothes), the second outfit will be a white long dress that she will wear in the bath, showing purity and simplicity, plus I always liked that 'wet clothed' look, as it gives off a vulnerable yet beautiful look. Her last outfit is not yet planned, because of the changing weather (the scene is outside), therefore I will adapt to the climate of the day of the shooting. For my second female character I chose Aletta. Her colored hair will play an important role in the representation of her character, as it's generally seen as quite rebellious to have odd colored hair, especially as a teenager. In addition, I believe she will be able to get in character with ease and express the emotions though body language successfully. Her three costumes will be as follows: a black dress and heels for the neon light scene, showing her as a powerful person, dominating her significant other, some old, dark looking clothes for the scene where she breaks the plates, in order for her attire to match her inner state, and the last outfit is in the same position as Francesca's last, it will depend on the weather. For the male character I chose Victor, as he is Aletta's boyfriend, and they will be more comfortable to play together, and their interaction will be more genuine compared to two strangers. His outfit will consist of a white tshirt (for the glitter that Aletta will put on it to be visible), and a pair of black pants. Finally, I thought I would also introduce myself in the video, as I haven't been both an actor and director at the same time and I want to see how I manage both jobs, and to add a bit of my character to the work.
I will only appear in the last scene with the two girls, so as I mentioned above, I'm yet to find out what's most appropriate to wear.
