Costumes to expect in our Music video

Baseball Jacket





















We choose  this outfit to be one of our Music video costume because it has been a popular hip-hop outfit through out the history of hip-hop.  Baseball Jacket are usually worn in hip-hop videos to represent the main protagonist. The Jacket is specially design with broad shoulders,  to make the people that wear it look muscular. This is to represent that the Artists are dominant. Hip hop Artists tend to wear this to help them to send this narration to the audience watching. Baseball jackets usually have symbols or name of different cities  such as 'NY', 'L.A' on the back and front of the Jacket. The narration to why artist wear this in their video is to represent their cities and where their from

Wale-Slight work

This is a video which has an hip-hop artist 'Wale' wearing a

 baseball jacket in he's video. This is an evidence of how a

 Baseball Jacket has become popular in the Hip hop Culture and Genre.

Jacket and Plain T-shirt





















We choose this to be one of the costumes in our music video because through out history hip hop artist are known to wear expensive necklaces on their plain white T-shirt. Hip hop Artist usually wear this out fit (Dark Jacket and a plain white T-shirt) because the contrast between the Jacket and the T-shirt helps their necklace to stand out, so that it is more obvious to see. The narration to this is that the Artist is wealthy and can afford all these expensive materials.


Blazer with high tops

 We chose this to be apart of our music video costume because the blazer is formal. Blazers are you usually known to be a formal clothing and are usually allocated to people with good education Background such as Lawyers and Doctors. The narration to this is slight formal look is to show that some hip-hop artist are quite sophisticated. The High tops shoes which the artist is wearing is not very formal which gives this costume a good balance for our music video. The fact that the Artist is wearing a blue coloured hat and a blue coloured Jacket is to stand out because no one really wears a hat on a blazer. this is done purposely by the artist because he doesn't want to fit the Hip-hop stereotype or go against it, so therefore he is a bit of both.

                                                               

Slim-fit Sleeve

We chose this to be a part of the costumes that will be used in our music video because it is a fashionable modern clothing that is current in 2012 and since our music video is set in the modern age of Hip- hop this will be an appropriate clothing for it. Even though the long Shirt looks formal, the trainers and the Hat still brings back the Hip-Hop genre in the outfit.
