Costumes- Coldplay

In our production, we are going to be dressing our characters and musicians in basic colours and simple clothing so we didn't draw attention away from other things happening in the video, but also to fit with stereotypes of the genre. As we saw on the guardian music blog (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2010/sep/01/gender-stereotypes-indie-music) it is stereotypical of the genre for "the boundaries and differences between masculine and feminine stereotypes" to be "blurred".

Black and white were the colours we chose to dress the people in our video in to keep it simple, and not to distract from any of the other things happening in the music video.
