Character Casting & Costumes

It was important that we had our main character wearing a red dress, as we plan to make our video all black and white, with the only colour being the red of the dress.
We decided this as the colour red has cultural connotations of love and lust, but also danger and pain. These feelings are all represented by the relationship shown in our music video.
We cast Lydia as our main character because we needed a person with a naturally pretty and "cute" look to fit in with what we wanted for our video.

We cast Matt Brown, a local celebrity for the part of our main character. His slick look fitted in well with what we were trying to create. Matt is wearing mostly black, this represents the darkness that he is feeling due to his heartbreak.
This is also a realistic outfit that a teenage boy would wear whilst on a night out drinking .
