Inspiration
Our video is going to rely heavily upon the use of costume changes and though we intend to create this change seamlessly, (by using a door to transition between time period & thus costumes) this video in particular revolves around the concept of costume change. This intertextual blind blower incorporates 18 different costume changes in which the lead singer of the band (Eytan Oren) impersonates a variety of influential rock stars (including- Buddy Holly, John Lennon,Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Prince, Kurt Cobain, Billy Joe Armstrong, Lady Gaga). This clever transition between artists & outfits adds an intimate addition to the song, amplifying the lyrics and making it visually intriguing as you sit there trying to figure out who everybody is & then re-watch it un till you've worked it out, something which in the music video industry is a must have (repeatability). It inspiring us to go for a video which through a narrative & performance based piece could achieve the same affect in our audience (making them want to re watch it to really understand the intricate details of each era). Additionally this video spurred us to go eagerly ahead with our montaged 20th century of multiple time periods. As previously we were slightly worried about costumes design and how to get hold of all of the clothing that would be needed to make the video seem authentic, playful & visually pleasing. Seeing how effective the costumes alone made 'Everything Changes' massively increased my confident in scouting around for possible wardrobe ideas. So 'GEAR' have now successfully sourced some authentic items of clothing from family members, friends & acquaintances to use in our video. The final element that we drew from this video was the way Oren is being dressed up into the clothes with no say in the matter ( originally we had debated using this concept completely, and having our female protagonist physically forced into the style of the era she has entered. We still may come to explore this route, but will most probably develop our idea of using an object to flip the setting & thus her costume as well).
