Costume

The costume for our cast is a typical ska skater look. So therefore want to try and include trilbys, braces but try to keep it looking modern and fresh at the same time.

Male Skateboarder

This is just one of the looks we are going for, for our male skateboarder which includes skinny jeans, and casual top and headphones worn around is neck to develop the fact it is a music video by showing how our cast are into music.

Female Skateboarder

The look we dont want in our video.

We want our female skateboarder to look feminine but with a boyish side as well. The look we don't want is for our female to look like the pop icon 'Avril Lavigne' when she released her single sk8er boi. If we had this look in our video it wouldn't relate to the genre of the band and would also make our video look tacky.

The Look we do want

The look we want for our female skateboarder is that similar to Samantha Ronson as she herself as a stylish tomboy image and being a DJ reflects someone who is into music. She is often wearing skinny jeans, T-shirt and trainers. Her look also includes a trilby which is a signifying look of Ska The specials where a massive ska band from 1977 and therefore we are wanting to make sure we include some of the original ska style within our video but with a feminist twist.

This video from The Specials 'Message to you Rudy' shows the ska image of the 70's and gives an insight into the ska style and what we want to incorporate into our video as a dedication to this era of music.
