Costume Change Inspirations

We have now finalised that our idea will rely heavily on satire and costume change. After doing some research we found these videos that utilize costume change. Here are some music videos that we will use as inspirations:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Dani California'

Although this music video only explores the genres of rock, we like it because it is satirical and is an example of what we are aiming to do with our costume changes. The rock band impersonations will also have been very relatable to their fans, who enjoy rock music. This is why we would like to include certain references to pop culture so our target audience can relate to the our band.

Britney Spears - 'Toxic'

Christina Aguilera - 'Candyman'

In these videos Christina and Britney both place different characters. In 'Candy Man' this is to fit in with the time period of the narrative whereas in 'Toxic' Britney plays three entirely separate characters. However, we would like to incorporate some of their sex appeal and 'empowered female' personas to an extent.

Blink 182 - 'All The Small Things'

Like 'Dani California' we like the satire involved in this video and how it portrays the personality of the band. This is what we aim to achieve through our music video, as our audience are young people who will find this sense of humor funny as we will be satirizing different genre stereotypes they know of.

Our Video

We want to combine the sense of humour of 'Dani California' and 'All the Small Things' with the girliness and sex appeal surrounding the female artists, their songs and their poppy genre. Furthermore, we are developing the idea even further with the artist being a girl band. We are also aiming to reference pop culture (for example Single Ladies) to make sure that the sense of humor we are portraying is very accessible to the mainstream market our band is part of. We are aiming to make the video and artist familiar, but still fresh and different in these ways.
