Costume

These are the exact masks i have purchased for my video. In themselves without the actors and costume, these props do not look threatening at all. However combined with actors wearing suits (which is a formal type of clothing not normally worn on a everyday basis) and at night will demonstrate something much more unusual and frightening. These are the main props i am going to be using to demonstrate the characters paranoia from the usage of drugs. Animals like these are all very innocent, we do not see them very often and when we do they give off that "aww" impression. In this video the emotions will be turned as we will see them as a threat. They are only masks- to hide a identity- the identity of these actors roaming around being unwanted encounters of a unsober character. These masks connote threat and hidden mystery. They represent my genre in a subverted way and give the audience a alternate reading. 

This is one of the masks i shall be using in my video in the second half of my video. This pig mask fits into my genre being horror because it isn't a pleasant mask to look at and is quite scary. This mask will hide the identity of a person and put forth the idea of not knowing who or what someone is which is genuinely used in horror related videos. It will represent the horror of the music video and the character wearing it being mysterious with a non-human like form. The mask will fit into the audiences expectations of the video because the mask is very unpleasant. The person wearing the mask will not speak, it will just have the characteristics of a normal person. Except with a mask on. The particular scene in which this mask is used in will be a scene in an area where there will be a street lamp and a man walking down the road. The man is wearing a mask but staring at you (first person perspective). The other masks are different ones used in my video a-swell, only the pig mask is much more bigger and scarier. The woodland animal masks and the farm animal masks will all be used in the second half of my video also. This contradicts the meaning of horror as they are children's masks and they are not associated with horror however with the type of genre and the costume and music they will be represented as being scary. This will also represent horror and drug related horror outcomes such as bad trips and hallucinations as the masks seen by first person perspective will be understood to be the outcome of doing drugs and drinking. This will fit into my target audience because it is very sinister idea of having something which is seen to be so innocent twisted into something which is not very nice at all.

This is the type of uniform the males will be wearing. It will represent the class and formality of the characters. However when they are wearing the suits and formal clothing it is also when they are wearing the masks which will completely change the view of the characters and it will transform it into a very obscure vision. This will link into my genre and the representation will be shown through the suits because they are a very intimidating piece of clothing and are represented to be smart when actually worn without a actual face and somewhat resemblance of a woodland or farm animal are seen as quite frightening.
