Representation

In our video we are aiming to create the same style and theme as Beth Ditto in the band The Gossip. To achieve this we need to provide a rock style, for example big hair and make up! We want Liv to look around her 20's as our target audience is 16-25. We have picked this age as Beth is a young singer, also our video is more relevant to the younger generation.Here is an example of the look we are trying to achieve.




















































Beth Ditto has a big, curvy figure and black hair, where as our main actress(Liv) is blonde and skinny. We are therefore going to compose a representation of Beth Ditto, not a spitting image.

















Our main costumes for Liv, will generally tend to be 'rocky' themed clothes. For example bright colours, blazers, big heels, tight tops. We plan on getting these clothes from all of our wardrobes. If not we will have to improvse, either bothering clothes off friends, or visiting cheap local shops or charity shops in order to keep our prices down. Also we will try and include extreme clothes. For example ...

Here Beth is seen wearing an unusual costume, which is a regular trend within rock. Unusual and extreme clothing.
















As we are follow the style of Beth Ditto throughout to show a real representation of the band, we are going to use big, bold make up, one to copy Beths style, two to copy the rock style and also to make her stand out within the video. We liked the idea of big, black, smokey eyes. Also the idea of bright lips. This will bring Liv out in the crowd. For the rest of the cast within the video, we wanted to do plain makeup, so they come across as 'the background'. For example little mascara and natural lips. We want the cast to look presentable but not to the point where the audience are always focusing on them. We also will put makeup on the boys within the video. This will make them also look presentable and provide a better complexion when filming.























We like the idea of big, messy hair for Liv. We chose this as it represents that 'rocky' look! In order to create this, were going to back comb her hair, with lots of hairspray. By doing this we will hopefully achieve the desired look! I am going to do Liv's hair and make up. As i no what look we are going for it makes it easier for us to achieve the rock look!

  1. a concern here would be that Liv looks young. can you make her look older in a convincing way? why not choose someone who looks older to begin with?

    Liv is not supposed to represent Beth Ditto. Liv is a new rock star. Beth Ditto can be the inspiration if you want, it would probably be better if she wasn't though.
