research and planning: The Punk Genre: Costuming


I then went on to research the Punk genre as well, this is as we were going to make a Punk/ Indie music video. The most iconic item of clothing when it comes to the Punk Genre is by far the leather jacket, the leather jacket has been a statement item of clothing for decades and is iconic. Hence, why I feel that a leather jacket should be a must when filming a Punk/ Indie music video.
I then went to search for celebrities wearing leather jackets and I found this image of Cheryl Fernandez- Versini wearing a leather jacket, Cheryl is popular within Britain, being one of the judges on X Factor and being a pop star, everyone knows of Cheryl , and the majority of her fans want to look like her.
I then went on to look for celebrities wearing Doc Martens- these chunky boots have been popular since the 70's, however they are slowly becoming more and more popular with the grunge scene over the years. I found this image of Katy Perry wearing doc martens, Katy Perry also wears them in quite an indie way with  a statement dress and knee high socks- a cute and quirky festival like look, I like this look especially as I feel that it combines both aspects of the indie look, such as the flowery dress, with punk aspects, I.e. the doc marten boots and the black knee high socks.


I also went on to look at makeup looks, and Punk makeup looks are key in making a statement, hence this image of Demi Lovato wearing black lipstick.  I feel that I could definitely experiment with eye makeup and lipsticks in order to create new and unusual looks within my music video, however, I wouldn't want to make them too out there, this is because a key part in the costuming and makeup is that they can be replicated, I want to create unusual looks that can still be replicated.
