Costume

Three policemen- we want them to be similar to keystone cops as the music video has an essence of theatre we want them to be more like characters- as reality the policemen wouldn't be dancing with prisoners. Luckily the school theatre department has 3 keystone cop outfits which include jackets, trousers, hats and truncheon,. Hear is an example of what they will look like.

The three murder victims will be wearing suits, showing what appears to be power in the surface, bar man and other member of the club audience. Making it ironic when they are murdered. We have asked the members of staff to bring in a suit which they think is appropriate and as a group we will discuss whether it is suitable. We may also give them props such as cigars and hats.

The 8 dancers will all be waring the same black leotards, fishnets and high heals. As they are all members of a dance company they all have matching leotards which we have asked them to bring in as well as bringing their own heels. We will provide fishnet tights. These outfits will look them look like cabaret performers and make them desirable.

The Three Main performers will have to outfit changes- Their first outfit will be their jazz club performance dress- we don't want these to be to revealing as we want the girls to be seen as clean but they will make them look attractive. We want to find three dresses that relate to each other, in either colour or style. The group will go shopping in places such as http://www.vivienofholloway.com/ to find a dress that fits the 1950s era. The second costumes are for the prison sequence we want them to be warring matching show girl outfits, showing their fun flirtatious side. The theatre department have something that is just what we are looking for so we will borrow three dresses from them. below is a modern equivalent of what we plan to use.
